The UPS Store — Establishment and finance at 54 Danbury Rd Route 35, Ridgefield, Connecticut.

Always super helpful and fast. Pricey but convenient.

Not being from this area, I trusted UPS to take care of my shipping needs. Boy, was I wrong. I came in to mail a couple packages and ran into a number of problems:

The television was on and blaring partisan politics so loud that it was distracting throughout the store and made it hard to hear the associate that I was trying to work with. While I don't care what your personal political thoughts are, I think having things like this on in a retail location (regardless of which side you're on) is just asking to upset at least a portion (half?) of your potential client base.

I came in with a hand written address label that was specific to the people I was mailing to. The associate working typed in the address on it and then literally threw my note away. The other item I packed into a mailer I purchased from this location. I wrote the address and a "do not open til... " note on the front. The associate again printed out a huge shipping label and stuck it over the top of my handwritten note. Upon noting that he'd covered up an important message, he said he'd take care of my "Christmas note". I told him that it had said "Do not open until "6 month" clothes are needed"... it wasn't a Christmas gift at all, it was an early baby gift. I insisted on hand writing it on the packing label myself at that point.

Now, 2 weeks later, neither of the packages I shipped have been received by the recipients. Having trusted UPS in the past, I was stupid and didn't keep the receipts, so I don't have tracking numbers. I'm not sure where my handmade baby gifts went (yep, this part is my fault, but seriously...).

I cannot say strongly enough that you should just go to the nearest Post Office or FedEx.
