News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Hi, I had tried to bring this up in the r/UPS subreddit on Reddit since I don't seem to be seeing a UPS community on here, and I ended up getting comments that I feel are negative and rude against me. It had led to me having to block at least three people so far and delete three of my own comments due to the reception I was getting there. I don't know if I misworded my post or something, since all I was trying to find out is if there are any lawsuits and possibly any class action lawsuits going on related to the customs and 'disposing of' U.S. bound packages mess this article is talking about. The reason I wanted to find out is that I currently have a package in transit coming from Australia and another package that I paid for last night that will be coming from the United Kingdom (possibly the European Union), and since I don't know what parcel carrier each of them are going to when they cross through customs, since I'm unfortunately in the United States. Because of that, I'm just worried about them while trying to find out what to do and if there is any talk of legal action going on, and I'm not looking for trouble.
Your best bet is probably to take the tracking info you have and contact UPS directly.
Fact of life right now though is international shipping is going to be wonky/fucked for the US at least.
I've had some packages seem like they've just disappeared, but then eventually show up, and others that are still in the ether.
Best of luck.
