UPS خدمة العملاء الدولية

Upon calling UPS, an automated recording lets customers choose 9 for Spanish or wait on the phone for English. Callers are told their calls may be recorded for training purposes and are also directed to UPS' website to read the company's privacy notice on how personal information is handled. In addition, the automated system asks customers if they'd like to participate in a brief survey after the call has ended. If you choose yes, the survey will be sent via text message.

Once you get through these updates, the automated system doesn't give you a menu of options. Instead, you either need to state your concern or question as specifically as possible. Or you can say the word 'menu' to reach the main menu for options. You can choose from tracking a package, changing a delivery, scheduling a pick-up, reporting a problem or obtaining more shipping options. The automated system also gives you a list of nearby UPS locations.

I wanted to get more information about UPS's on-call pick-up service for packages, which allows a UPS driver to pick up your package at your home or office based on a scheduled day/time. The automated system then directs you to begin completing information related to your pick-up, including how many packages you need to be picked up and the label's tracking number, which I did not have.

Rather than follow these prompts, I decided to chat with a representative to get more details about this service, the labeling and the cost. On the phone, you can say the word 'representative' to connect with a live agent. Customers are told their estimated wait time based on the order of calls, mine being about four minutes.

Once I was connected to a rep, I asked my questions regarding package pick up. The rep was able to give me details, stating that I could schedule a pickup for any day of the week over the phone or online. Prices vary based on how soon I need it picked up: $13 for same-day pick-up and $8 for a future day. In addition, I would need a pre-paid shipment label on my package to be able to schedule the delivery, and I could do this online via UPS's website. UPS will pick up all packages under one schedule request, so you don't have to place multiple requests for more than one package.

I found this information helpful, as the rep was very knowledgeable and directed me to more efficient means of accessing UPS's pick-up services online. She told me I could also check my pick-up status on the website and establish recurring package pick-ups as needed. A good tip she shared: you can give a pre-labeled package to any UPS driver who delivers to your home or business without needing to schedule the service. I appreciate UPS making it easy for customers to receive assistance via phone or the website.
