Title: UPS sucks, just like the post office. And FedEx sucks, too.
Post by: Big Frank on January 03, 2026, 10:15:32 PM

I FINALLY got my Ruger Mark II parts from Volquartsen today. UPS had my package in Flint, December 24th and told me they were going to deliver it that day. Then it left Lexington, KY 9 days later. Google Maps says that's a 773 mile round trip, over 11 - 1/2 hours drive by the fastest route. WTF? It ended up in Hodgkin, IL AGAIN yesterday, 10 days after it left there the first time. And it was back in Flint AGAIN, 10 days after the first time it got here, but they decided to give it to me this time, instead of shipping it around the country again. I don't have any idea where it was all those days between Christmas Eve when it was here, and yesterday when it left Kentucky, but it could have gone coast to coast in less time. ???

they all suck.   its just which one sucks the least for a given package.    I know amazon is doing some 3rd party stuff now.   from what I hear it beats fed up and is cheaper.   only time will tell.

Do you have the actual UPS tracking?

I have a tracking number and an account at UPS (My Choice) where I can view and track all of my packages. UPS only had the information I posted, and a lot less than that, up until a couple of days ago. They just kept saying every day that my package was in Flint being processed for delivery for over a week.
