I'm just pissed UPS used 'adverse weather conditions' as an excuse to not deliver my package when the 'conditions' cleared up and had no real impact on their ability to make the attempt. It sat not 40mins from me the night it was supposed to be sent to the 'final' facility it was supposed to go to before going out for delivery, instead of sending it off to that facility they say 'adverse weather conditions' let it sit for a day before sending it to that facility and still won't send it out for delivery the following day instead saying it will go out Monday. So they let it sit overnight at one facility then send it where it should have gone and let it sit there until Monday morning before they'll send it out for actual delivery which where I live the drivers don't show up until 6-7pm.

I can't/couldn't go get it myself because their policy is not to permit this until they make an attempt but they didn't want to make the attempt hence the 'delay code'. They could have even sent it out today but nope, they put it off 2 business days when all that was 'needed' was to put it on one of several trucks bringing freight to the local facility the night it arrived and it would have been ontime for Thursday. Now I won't have my package for my long weekend, which I almost never have, nearly 4 days delayed because they didn't want to bother doing what they were paid for.

It just really gets me when I know they are full of it.
