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.
