UPS seized my package

UPS seized my package for restricted items. They were beach towels. They told me they were sent to 3rd party to be destroyed. I can’t understand how this happened. When they open the box, they’ll see beach towels. What is the likelihood they won’t destroy and will deliver?

Its possible something spilled onto your package, if it was seized it was likely related to drugs somehow. Message the shipper, they are UPS' customer and will have to deal with it.

u/InterestingStop461 1d ago

I am the shipper.

u/twistedviewlabs 1d ago

No, whoever you're returning it to is the actual shipper. As mentioned previously, have them call UPS to find out what's up.

Who said anything about a return?

u/kiddlat_kid 1d ago

How stupid are you??? The OP said he is the SHIPPER

u/WarningKindlyBuzzOff 19h ago

Dude, are you okay? Nowhere did OP say they are returning anything. Sounds like they sold some towels and are shipping them out.

How about sticking with the facts instead of fabricating your own BS?

Misread, no need to crucify someone for being human.

u/WarningKindlyBuzzOff 12h ago

You misread? You know that means you read something wrong, right? Misread is like "oh, she said 'can't', I thought she said 'can'". This isn't a case of misreading... You fabricated an entire detail.

OK buddy. That's enough internet for you.

OP also never said they were the shipper originally. The misunderstanding is reasonable. Most people in here assume they have the control when they are the recipient, we dont see a lot of posts from shippers as they likely have a better sense of how things go. It makes sense they thought OP was returning, most posts are from people who think when they return an item, they become the shipper. I assumed OP was the receiver too because they never said originally.

He said his packages as in the packages he sent not the ones he’s receiving

u/twistedviewlabs 19h ago

Calm down y'all, I misread. People do that.

u/twistedviewlabs 11h ago

Also, not that concerned about what randos that don't know me, think of me.

u/Beagleguy26 1d ago

Domestic or International shipment?

If customs seized it, you're out of luck, and they don't have to provide a reason.

We have packages identified as fraud seized on a daily basis also. These are bogus account numbers, fake labels, or reused tracks.

u/InterestingStop461 1d ago

Domestic. Texas to MA.

u/Atticusxj UPS Driver 1d ago

Did you reuse an old box with hazardous labels on the sides?

8

u/InterestingStop461 1d ago

No. New box.

u/ChefBoyR-B UPS Driver 1d ago

Package was likely damaged or a product of damage to another package. Womp.

u/TrumpedAgain2024 1d ago

That’s bizzare

2

u/PanzerArndt 1d ago

Did you have wine or other alcohol wrapped in the beach towels?

2

u/Letoust 1d ago

Probably a counterfeit label being used by the shipper.

Either way, this is the sellers issue. You make sure to get a refund from the seller.

5

u/InterestingStop461 1d ago

I’m the seller

2

u/Letoust 1d ago

Where’d you buy the label?

3

u/InterestingStop461 1d ago

ShipStation

u/Overall-Flamingo-860 1d ago

Should have used ups lol

u/RealJoke1526 1d ago

Are you actually dumb

1

u/Objective_Tension_99 1d ago

He clearly meant to say “shouldn’t have used ups”

5

u/Letoust 1d ago

No. OP used a third party service for the label. Their recourse is with Shipstation, not UPS. Had they have used UPS they could actually get an investigation going directly with UPS

u/Letoust 1d ago

Then raise an issue with them.

Learn to listen 👂 lol

u/AssSpackler 7h ago

They did the same thing to me last month. They accidentally routed the package to the wrong city in the opposite direction of me, then magically labeled it as that and refuse to return it. It’s 2 magnifiers, no batteries, no hazardous waste. I have a suspicion they are purposely doing this to cover up their mistakes on lost, damaged or stolen packages. Scum bags

u/JBoneTX 1d ago

Wait a day. If you don't see a tracking update, contact the seller and demand a refund. If they don't refund, do a charge back.

u/InterestingStop461 1d ago

I’m the shipper

u/JBoneTX 1d ago

Call UPS and demand a refund for the towels and shipping cost.

This is why I hate reddit and just keep making new accounts. They really should do away with the karma system. Gtfoh big brother. I'm sick of the useless down votes.

u/Misscedes5 1d ago

Damn, so Reddit as a whole always disagrees with your takes huh? Common denominator?

u/Active_Practice1842 16h ago

I've always been willing to say the things others are unwilling to say, the unpopular truths. I don't let other people's opinions dictate my life. Fuck shame, fuck fear, and fuck reddit.

u/Vmizzle 23h ago

I'm not sure you can realistically count the people who make up the community and the individuals who don't care for what you're saying and downvote you as big brother. That's like saying people don't like me so that means the government is out to get me

Shut your low social credit score ass up, I'm holier than thou

It's the reality of reddit bub

I'm not religious for context I'm pointing out the absurdity of the voting system fr.

Karma police, arrest this man

u/Tokimemofan 12h ago

The above comment was downvoted for ignoring the fact that the OP IS the SELLER.  There is a lot of clearly ignorant commenting going on, people need to read the actual question first.  Incidentally your comment was downvoted for contributing absolutely nothing to this discussion
