Question about: UPS, Cigars & Outside Temperatures

Our UPS depot is open for an an hour or two a day in the late afternoon. I'm not even sure they have a public number where one could talk to an actual person. I'd have a neighbor or friend get it after UPS delivers. I hate having my orders sitting in the sun for an afternoon, so sitting for days would not be an option. Good luck

Yeah, you should have a local UPS location that will hold a package to be picked up. I have a long driveway that they pretty much refuse to go down during the winter with their trucks, so I end up having to have them hold packages for me to pick up.

The UPS driver here just sets the packages on the porch in the carport and walks away.

Give them a call (1-800-PICK-UPS) and they will hold it or you can reschedule a new delivery date. Hopefully, CCOM put a HUMI-CARE pillow in there to help keep the sticks fresh.

Cigars are pretty durable and as long as they are shipped with a pillow or boveda pak they should be fine. While I don't like the idea of them being in the back of a truck in the hot sun or in some warehouse that isn't acclimatized I've never had anything spoiled even if it took a few weeks. The important thing is when you do get them put them in your humidor and leave them for a few weeks so they can acclimate to YOUR humidor.

Better yet get a buddy to come by and pick them up and hold them for you. Maybe even pop them in the freezer till you get back.( just make sure he takes out the humi pillow first)

i am a ups employee and they will deff. hold an item no problem, you need to contact them asap and give them the tracking number and a automatic hold will be placed on them, if your local ups is just a part time facility as in only opened for a couple hours in the late afternoon it often can be hard to obtain the phone number so just drive there if you have to, also we have a contract w/ usps on some small packages so sometimes they end up going to the post office, this is just if you dont want them sitting on the porch all day

I have a question, UPS.I sent back some merchandise for a refund. You picked up the box and gave me a receipt with a tracking number on 6 August. You just dropped off the same package I gave you (it's 8 August.) I look up the tracking number, which was last updated yesterday...and it's in San Antonio. WHAT...THE...EFF? Don't you know this package has to be back on a specific date for me to get the refund?

UPS is nutz around here also, half the time I get a package delivered from them I'm lucky if it makes it to the door even, have found quite a few deliveries a the end of the driveway just laying on the concrete 2 feet away from the asphalt, and I maybe 1 of every 12 deliveries do I even get a doorbell ring.

Yep. Nobody ever claimed UPS was very bright..........??
