Fighting with UPS
9 years ago
General
So.... In a previous journal I mentioned that my computer didn't have the horsepower to stream my drawing AND allow me to draw in very high definition AND use my lazy nezumi tool for brush strokes. Lol, people were surprised actually at what games I managed to run (yes even fallout, though stuttery downtown.) So I decided to fix the problem. I already had a good vid car but what i needed was more ram and a better CPU. Order the whole kit as a new computer online (that way I get new case, hard disks ect, old disks were giving fits.) I then paid $67 to have it NOW.
That's when UPS intervened. Sure they flew the package right out from Kentucky and got it to Colorado by early morning. However, if you've paid a lot of money to get a package now know that UPS' attitude is "Fuck you." You don't get priority in the delivery queue, which means because of my location in the metro area i'm last on the fucking delivery list DESPITE paying for literally the most expensive shipping available. Not making that mistake again, why pay extra only to realize that you still will get served after everyone else?(course not that I'm gonna use UPS ever again.) Well UPS has a window of like 7am to 7pm to deliver, and low and behold as it gets to 6;45 suddenly magically on the shipping status "incorrect address, cannot deliver" pops up. I saw exactly what happened right away.
Fast forward an hour and a half and I'm picking up my package at their warehouse (only 20 minutes away, the package got to that warehouse at 5 am from Kentucky and they mean to tell me that for $67 in shipping they couldn't have gotten my package to me by 7 am? Really?) and checking the shipping label. Its exactly as I thought. The package label is completely correct, the UPS driver literally was out of time, didn't want to get in trouble for not delivering a priority package and lied that the address was wrong. At that point the only reason why I got my computer "next day" was that ***I*** picked it up. So yeah, UPS cheated me and wasted an entire day that I could have been productively drawing.
I don't know if I'm gonna get a second page of the comic out this week because of this folks. If you see a UPS delivery guy today then you can spit on him as a thank you for that(No, don't actually spit on UPS delivery guys lol.)

OP
Lol, I was getting angry enough. Simply the fact that me paying all that money and STILL being last on the delivery list (and thus literally sitting around all day with my old computer disassembled, key parts ready to go into the new one) had me absolutely livid.
