UPS Delivery Service (United Parcel Services)

Week before last week UPS delivered a package to our door. Address on the package was ours but not the name. We thought we should look at similar named street in our area  and see if we can hand deliver it to the right individual. After several attempts we did not find the right address or the party. So I called UPS  last week and explained that package does not belong to us. The lady at the other end asked me to leave the package outside our door Monday morning and somebody will pick it up.

Nobody came.

This morning I left the package out again. While I was going for a walk late afternoon, I saw a UPS truck making delivery to one of my neighbours. So I asked the driver if he would kindly pick up the package for me; it was misdelivered and I had already called his office about it.  He said nobody had informed him to pick up any parcel from my home. I said, as long as he was here would he mind doing it. He said, he had to make deliveries, and perhaps he will come back, and he left.

I went on my walk thinking he is not coming back.  He just wanted to get me off his back.

Lo and behold, when I returned from my walk after hour and twenty minutes, parcel was gone. He kept his word.

This is what is so likable about America. I felt bad having doubted his intentions....
