UPS South Africa has been one of the most frustrating courier experiences I’ve ever dealt with I was contacted to pay import tax on a shipment, but the communication was so unclear and unverified (no recognisable tracking linked to my order, non-working phone numbers) that it genuinely looked like a ****. Only after multiple follow-ups from UPS did I take the risk and pay — in good faith. After I paid, they continued to request additional documents and fees (ID, inspection charges), which I provided. At no point was I warned that the parcel was at risk of being abandoned. Then suddenly — despite already having taken my money — they declared the shipment abandoned. Now it gets worse: They are refusing to release my parcel unless I pay a further R5000, while also refusing to refund the R1600 tax I already paid. So effectively: They accepted my money Didn’t deliver the parcel Want even more money to release it And won’t refund what I’ve already paid Every time I ask for a proper explanation, I get the same vague response: “payment was late” — with zero accountability for their poor communication, broken contact channels, or the fact that they continued engaging with me after taking my money. This isn’t just bad service — it feels completely unreasonable and deeply unfair. I would strongly caution anyone using UPS South Africa, especially for international shipments. If something goes wrong, expect confusion, extra charges, and very little accountability.
*****. They have just disappeared off the face of the earth without any refund. Emails down, not answering phone calls, website down, facebook page gone, instagram gone.
They have just disappeared off the face of the earth without refunding me. ****mers.
I went to sorbet today to get my eyebrows and eyelashes tinted - and ended up with a huge black stain in my blonde hair. The beautician didn't tell me so by the time I got home it had settled into my hair and stained it. Super bummed as I had just gotten my hair done - now I need to go get it fixed.
