Do not, I repeat, DO NOT use the services of this UPS store.
It is your money at risk, give it to some more responsible business instead, somebody who will actually work hard for you.
Long story short - if you think this UPS store is on your side - you are wrong. If you think "UPS store" means it's UPS - you're wrong. If you send anything with them - there is no guarantee you'll receive it, they'll try to put blame on somebody else and very probably you'll lose your money, lots of time and it'll be nerve-wracking.
We used the store's services for urgent delivery of our (accidentally left behind in the US) laptop to the UK, on July 6th 2020.
We expected them to explain the service and price to us, to pick up our laptop, and for the recipient (family member) to receive it in a couple days in the UK
We paid $400 (FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS) for the service, and left our laptop with the UPS store, and this is when NIGHTMARE began.
We STILL don't have the laptop, it's August 24th. It was held up at the UK customs for some reason that NOBODY at this UPS store had told us anything about.
The UPS customer service says it's the responsibility of the UPS store, as they didn't provide enough documentation.
The UPS store says even though they have big letters UPS on their building, they are NOT UPS, they're a separate business (what?! I wish we knew they were not UPS and just a random store before we used their services, haha). And it's the failure of the UPS who lost the documentation.
The customs holds our laptop for a ransom of $1000.
All kinds of excuses and finger pointing. Do you really care about excuses when you pay $400 for, as you thought, responsible service? No, we just want to never have chosen this store.
To sum it up, remember, we paid $400 for the service, and they still have our laptop, demand money for the customs, and demand money to send the laptop back to us. It's like robbers taking your money, your possessions and then demanding more money to give you your possessions back.
