Shifting Trump tariffs have created a nightmare for UPS, as thousands of packages from overseas pile up at its hubs while they await customs clearance.
I’m not pro company or anything, but why should ups have to pay to do that.
I would say they should give them to a third party to auction off, but since they didn’t clear customs, I can’t see how they could do that either.
Well, when they sold it, conditions were one way. Then things changed. That pretty much invalidates the deal. Same as if your contractor opens up a wall and finds asbestos. It ain’t right, but blaming UPS is really blaming the victum in this case. This is all trumps doing. People even told them this would happen.
Sure they could, but them everyone would take thier business to the company that didn’t. Who knows, maybe that is how we got fed ex and not some other company.
Honestly, with the current government, making investments like that make no sense. The rules and regulations can change any day without reason. A tariff set up to “create manufacturing jobs” (the usual excuse) can vanish before any company has gathered their board to think about expansion…
And ideally they’d give a shit about doing their jobs well. Obviously there are systemic and also these more acute issues at play. There are also undeniably people who work there, at FedEx and at the USPS who could not care less, and that’s a shame.
Ideally they’d send the packages back to the origin instead of throwing them in the trash.

If UPS sells you shipping, they need to deliver. Or refund and return. It is basic business deal; don’t promise what you can’t deliver.
If they wanna blame Trump or customs or whatever, they can do that.

FedEx could demand a deposit for return shipping on bounced packages. It’s paperwork to refund that but it helps them avoid indolence.
Did I just solve the problem of cheap knockoff tech gear being shipped from the discard pile at the child labour factory, guys?

Ideally they would have been given some time to ramp up the process to do that.
They had time. They didn’t want to spend money on it.
