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 mean, yelling at UPS seems kind of unreasonable. Trump put the new system into place without a lead time for getting shippers to set up a system to handle all this, and I saw plenty of parties saying that this was going to lead to chaos. Sure enough…
I remember reading some articles about people waiting for their Framework Desktop machines shipped via Fedex getting frustrated at them being held up in customs too.
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.

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.
