UPS Deliveries

How does your park handle UPS deliveries? Ours used to come directly to our site but the park has decided to have them all delivered to the office instead. This can result in a day or two delay if the delivery is made after office hours or a weekend is involved for instance. I don't know why they wanted to get involved in the parcel business.

    Good point. I am not happy with the deal at all. Now, I have to take a vehicle to the office if I am anticipating a large delivery rather than walking. A couple of the people in the office like to get involved in all the park resident's business.

  • If you pay the monthly fee for UPS Plus or whatever it's called, you can have your packages delivered to the nearby ups store. They should have better operating hours than the resort office.

    Amazon has a deal with 7-11 I believe, maybe other store too called Amazon Lockers. Shipment locked in a box you open with your phone and a barcode.
  • UPS truck drops off load to be delivered to site by UPS owned golf cart.

    Seeing a lot more Amazon direct deliveries.
  • At Victoria Palms in the RGV the deliveries go to the site. With over 1,000 sites package delivery to the office would leave no room for the office workers.
  • Too many packages disappearing from porches etc. UPS and the post office both just drop the package and if you are lucky knock once. You are seeing more and more where it is recommended that packages be sent to some type of pickup location.

    Loving some of the booby traps I'm seeing on the TV that people have rigged. Saw one last night where some guy is marketing an exploding blank shotgun shell. The video looks like the guy stealing the package may think twice before trying it again.
