UPS Facturación

My call to UPS didn't go as planned, and I'm not sure if that was my fault or not. I didn't have the information it needed in my hands, but also I think that if the system had connected me to an agent I wouldn't have needed it. I wanted to check on a package I'd opened a claim on, and didn't have the tracking number. However, with an open claim, I didn't think I'd need it. It turns out that I definitely needed it in order to get to customer service at any rate. 

I understand that UPS probably gets a lot of phone calls on a daily basis, and most of them probably have to do with lost packages or tracking numbers, but that doesn't mean that they should brush off customers who want to speak to an agent. This is basically what they did to me and I didn't appreciate it at all. 

To start, when I called an automated voice stated this was UPS and warned me that the call would be monitored and recorded for training purposes. It then told me that I could go online if I wanted to see what the company's privacy practices were. Next, it asked it how it could help me. This is where I think I made my mistake, I said, "track a package" and I think that I should have referred to checking on my claim, but it was too late. 

It then asked if I was the sender, receiver, or a third party. I stated that I was the sender, and then it told me that it would need to the tracking number. I said customer service instead of the number since I didn't have it, and it responded, "You can go to claim support to open or manage a claim online. An agent will not be able to open a claim for you. You can also download Mychoice and be notified every time a package is sent to you. However, there may be additional options." It then asked for the tracking number again, so I just said customer service again. 

This time it said, "I understand you want to talk to a customer service agent, but I won't be able to help you without a tracking number. Please tell me what your tracking number is." I had no choice but to say customer service again and then it just abruptly hung up on me. I don't appreciate a rudely programmed call system. I'll try again later and try saying check on a claim, but I was too annoyed at that point.
