How long does it take for UPS to run a background check?

Question

How long does it take for UPS to run a background check? Should I be worried that it's been 5 days and whoever gets hired is supposed to start on Sunday at 10pm (tomorrow)? I had an interview on Monday at a hub to be a package handler and there were 11 of us applying and 7 spots open. I've had only one previous employer but I've never missed or was late to work, I was polite at the interview, I can lift 70 pounds on my own, I have reliable transportation, I can work in the heat, and I was the first one there to the interview which could only help since that shows I can be punctual. I can't call them today because it's Saturday and no one works on Saturday. When should I expect a call from them? Or, should I even expect a call at all?

Answer 1

They will do it of their own at their best opportunity. Meanwhile you do your work now as it is. If selected, they might call you in another week or two.

Best of luck.
