Is ups or cube4you more accurate?

[metal_cuber]

I recently ordered from cube4you and a couple days ago was sent an email from ups saying estimated arrival date was tomorrow. But on their tracking site no new info shows up and I just got an email an hour
ago saying cube4you shipped the package, any ideas on if cube4you or ups is more accurate?

 

[guitardude7241]

ups is.

 

[metal_cuber]

ups is.

So I should expect the package for tomorow?

 

[vrumanuk]

In my experience, no. But UPS is still more accurate than C4U. It may come tomorrow, but I wouldn't count on it.

 

[guitardude7241]

expect it tomorrow.

 

[ElderKingpin]

yep. UPS doesnt mess around with dates. if they say its coming tomorrow, it will.

Typically... any entry on UPS's tracking page can potentially mean, "We are preparing to misroute your package by 1500 miles and send it to the other side of the country. We understand that you will contact us numerous times to inform us of our error. We will acknowledge the error, but will not correct it until we have carried your package around for 3 weeks and are tired of it. We also plan to drop your package and break it before it arrives. Furthermore, we fully intend to deny the insurance claim despite the breakage being our fault on the grounds that the person shipping the package was not a "UPS certified packager" even though that requirement is not listed anywhere in the terms of the insurance. You will be out $300 and we will have a funny story about the guy we have been messing with for the past month to tell our families when we go home at night."

And if you ordered anything online in the Christmas/ New Year period, expect big delays.

My Dec 4 of a white 3x3x2 cube on Ebay has not arrived yet. It will most likely arrive on Jan 4 or 5.

Yep.
UPS is pretty accurate.

My package from UPS came 1 day earlier than expected.

UPS has always been accurate for me and I live far from every place I order from using UPS. It usually takes 2 days for me (I ordered from cube4you on 16/12 and got the package on 18/12, just like UPS said.

i disagree, UPS is one of the most reliable shippers out there, and its the only service i would trust to deliver form Cube4you since USPS+china air is not a very good combo

 

[metal_cuber]

Now ups is saying it's coming on the fourth I wonder why they said it was today to begin with

 

[panyan]

ups -> they are handling the delivery, not c4u. It is out of c4u's hands after theyve shipped it.

this happens to me all the time

When you got your 1st UPS mail notification, it usually because C4U has register your pacakge to UPS.
UPS always think that the package will be delivered to UPS at the same day.
So they start to calculate estimation when the package will be delivered to you.
The shipping proses from UPS is begun when you start to see the proses list on your tracking link provided by the UPS. If not, UPS hasn't proses it yet. This usualy because the UPS hasn't pick up the package from C4U. This happens alot

You said that you just recieved notification that C4U has shipped to to UPS, that's when the shipping proses from UPS begun.It's best to call your UPS local service to get the updates.

hope this helps
