lost time sensitive package/help!!

I’m hoping someone here may have advice on how to escalate a missing package issue that seems stuck between a UPS Store and the main UPS system.

On Monday, I went in person to a UPS location in Shrewsbury, NJ and had a shipping label created at the counter by the store attendant. The package was physically handed over and accepted by the employee.

The problem is that the package never received an origin/acceptance scan. Tracking still only says “Label Created,” even though the package was physically tendered at the store.

I’ve already:

  • Contacted the store multiple times
  • Filed a claim/investigation
  • Requested a physical package search
  • Contacted UPS customer service and customer relations

The store says they searched the location but have no answers, and UPS support keeps treating it like the package was never dropped off because there’s no scan.

This package was extremely time-sensitive, and I’m trying to figure out:

  • Is there any way to identify or contact the driver who picked up from the store that day?
  • Can UPS review pickup records or internal store scans?
  • Is there a higher-level escalation path beyond standard customer service?

Any insight from current/former UPS employees or others who’ve dealt with this would be hugely appreciated.

Planning a NYC → Tokyo trip

Planning a NYC → Tokyo trip and looking specifically for insight from people who’ve flown United on this route.

Trying to decide between Premium Plus and Polaris for the long flight and would love honest feedback from anyone who’s done either (or both).

A few questions:

  • For minimizing jet lag, is there a better departure time out of NYC? Late morning vs afternoon/evening?
  • Is nonstop the move, or does breaking it up actually help with travel fatigue?
  • How comfortable is United Premium Plus on a 13–14 hour flight to Tokyo? Did you feel rested enough upon arrival?
  • For those who’ve flown Polaris too — is the upgrade genuinely worth the extra points/cost?
  • How big is the difference in sleep quality between Premium Plus and Polaris?
  • Any specific aircraft or seat recommendations to look for/avoid?
  • Also using Chase points, so if anyone has good redemption strategies for United flights to Tokyo, I’d appreciate it.

Would love any tips from frequent United flyers before I book. Thanks!
