We recently relocated from Baton Rouge, Louisiana to Cape Girardeau, Missouri and are currently staying in a motel while searching for a permanent home. Because we do not yet have a physical address, we contacted the UPS Store at 2128 William St in Cape Girardeau regarding renting a mailbox and having packages shipped there.
The employee we spoke with told us that would not be a problem and instructed us to come in Wednesday morning at 8:00 AM to complete the mailbox paperwork. We arrived as instructed and were then told the manager would be arriving shortly to handle everything. Unfortunately, “shortly” turned into nearly 10:30 AM with no manager ever showing up, forcing us to leave so we would not be late for work.
Around 11:30 AM, the employee called and informed us that a UPS package had just been delivered for us. When we returned to pick it up, the manager still had not arrived, and despite the confusion and inconvenience, we were charged a $20 holding fee for the package.
Overall, this experience felt very disorganized and unprofessional. We had already paid extra for overnight shipping, only to be hit with unexpected fees and wasted time due to poor management and communication. Unfortunately, based on this experience, we will not be doing business with this location again.
