If you buy a UPS Store franchise expect to be treated like shepherd treats their sheep. Sheared as close as possible and slaughtered if they see any profit in it.
Known brand
Corporate is always finding ways to reduce our profit, increase our costs, and waste our time. Over my 14 years of owning UPS Stores they have turned us into the Amazon return center, and reduced what they pay us for the returns while increasing the costs. They require franchisees to pay many tens of thousands of dollars for a "New Look" that has a zero return on investment. They take great care of their vendors at the expense of the franchisees.
NoNegativeDisapprovesGood investment opportunity
Strong brand recognition
Would like better initial training and for the franchise consultants to be more knowledgeable.
YesPositiveNeutralWe are being clearly farmed for our life force, money and energy in an illegal manner. Gone are the days of real customer interactions and holding down your own city. The greed of the hedge fund has ruined the absolutely wonderful concept this was.
We have owned this for over 20 years, the original concept was Mailbox etc. I really liked being able to actually help customers and solve problems
Since the strong arm black rock move of turning all stores to The UPS Store there is a mid level governing body between us and UPS. its a criminal organization stealing from us in ever way, very low moral and ethical outlook... and funny because it literally exists on our money, made up on our money. Now we are just farm machines for Big Box Amazon 3rd party. Basic business. Drop offs use to be 8 % of store time for 5% of the profit. We are now forced to spend 90% of all store time handling the Hedge fun Amazon for the same basic 5% of income. Meanwhile every package we tender for ourselves looses us money in a 55%(ups) 45%(store). so Each tenedered package makes a larger bill than the actual transaction can pay for. This is now and end to end corrupt system which banks on penalization and theft because they are well aware that they have flooded our store and lost control of the market.
NoNegativeDisapprovesthe management going down
The ups store is a big brand
management don't understand real operation. when the retailer customers call corporate to complain about customer service, they want us to apologized, said customer reported to "CEO" so we need to say sorry to the lash out customers?????
NoNegativeDisapprovesGreat franchise. Horrible franchisor management.
Owning the business and being responsible and accountable for all aspects of operating the business and realizing its potential growth
Corporate regulations, lack of support, required tech upgrades without support, lack of accountability or follow through for corporate responsibilities.
