[QUOTE="SeniorGeek, post: 287382, member: 4823"] This is a he-said she-said sort of story. I see many possibilities - such as a misaddressed envelope, which was refused by a person at that wrong address, or a mis-key by the driver (who may have meant to use a different code). It may be that the same driver is on that loop nearly a decade after you moved, and that driver remembers the name from long ago, and that driver holds a grudge - yeah, it's possible but seems far-fetched. Another detail (that I negelected to quote) brings up another question: Can a UPS driver on this forum tell us how much identifying information gets keyed in on a not-delivered package? When I sign for packages, all they get is my last name. If I refuse a package, is the driver supposed to enter my [I]full[/I] name? Yes, you have. I can see that a mistake was made or something intentional was done to you or you have imagined things that did not happen, but I have not seen enough information to come to a conclusion or place blame. It appears you came to a conclusion that you are persecuted, and you are sticking with it. You have issues with DHL, too? What do all your issues have in common?The process you describe sounds much like what I have seen happen with UPS Overgoods (back when I was a UPS employee). I have not seen how you determined that nobody at UPS bothered to look. It appears that you made up your mind before...oh, we covered that already. The document with the tracking number and JUNG OVERGOODS does not tell us much about the package. If I could travel back in time, I'd track in detail, to follow the path of the package. (I often discover that a package was not shipped when the shipper said, or I find an address correction due to a typo by the shipper...or me. Detailed tracking could come in handy for showing mistakes made by UPS, too. There is lots of fodder for second-guessing....) FISHY: The alleged tracking number for the windshield frames does not fit UPS DI standards. This looks like it [I]might[/I] be the type of number on the OLD, now-obsolete type of tracking label that was [I]separate from the address label[/I] - for shipping from a carbon-copy book. That type of tracking number does not have to be associated with an address to be shipped, and the address information is to be written on a carbon copy page of a book by the shipper...but I thought those stopped being valid many years ago. I remember finding packages that had no address label, but had one of those tracking number labels, and research would dead-end when we found that there was no paperwork to give us an address for those packages.

I think "SPOD" is a FedEx term, isn't it? A little bit fishy: The tracking number was provided by billing, not the shipper? ULTRA fishy: The claim form lists 7 tracking numbers...for one parcel containing two items? I think the galvanizing shop messed up - big time. UPS takes one day of Holiday that is unique: New Year's Eve, December 31st. The other Holidays observed by UPS in the USA are the same Holidays observed by DHL and FedEx. The USPS adds MLK, Jr. (in January), President's (in February), Columbus (in October) and Veteran's (in November) Days as observed Holidays. Made possible by the huge quantities of money to be made from freshly-galvanized Land Rover windshield frames!
