DO NOT USE UPS FOR SHIPPING ANYMORE

UPS is collapsing as a company, DO NOT use them for shipping.  And be aware - if ordering internationally, if the sender uses EMS, it will come through UPS.  You must use DHL or Fedex instead.

UPS has suddenly descended into petty extorition and theft.  They are trying to overcharge people on tariffs, and holding packages as leverage.   This is not a rumor or internet chatter, it is happening to me as I write this.  They are destroying peoples' boxes.  

DO NOT use UPS again.  They are refusing to spend the money to hire enough people to operate their company, choosing extortion or theft instead.   This is not a universal problem - DHL, Fedex, and USPS are not doing any of this malfeasance - only UPS.

UPS is 'disposing of' U.S.-bound packages over customs paperwork problems

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.
