Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 4+ weeks)
I applied online at UPS.com. I received an email from the recruiter about a week later to set up a phone interview. I spoke to the recruiter on the phone about the position and what it entails. I was asked some questions about my background in sales and how I would feel about the position. We danced around salary expectations and then the recruiter invited me to take a Battery Sales Test that would be emailed to me.
I took the test the next moring. It was easy. It asked behaviroal questions and how you would handle clients, balance meetings and handle rejection. I emailed the recruiter after I finished. I was told promptly by the recruiter that I passed and would be referred to the hiring manager in two weeks.
I was contacted by the hiring manager as promised and a panel interview was conducted. STICK with the STAR interview format. It IS what they are looking for. I interviewed with the HR Sup, and the Sales Manager. I was asked around 8-10 detail questions. We talked in great detail about the job.
The following week I was told I was being considered for the position and two days later I was asked to come in again. I made an appointment for the following week and was offered a position.

Typical interview process where they sit you down and ask you to tell them a little about yourself. Most of the information that they will go over is stuff that you would of already known due to the job that you worked prior to applying to this one. Its important to make sure that you pay attention to what they say and ask questions.

Interviewed Dec 2010 in Greenville, SC (took 4 months)
I met with two ladies from HR for our initial one one interview. It consisted mainly of questions about my past work experience and goals in the future. Shortly afterwords I was called and passed through to the next round which consisted of an online skills/problem solving test. After completing and passing that I was a scheduled for a panel interview. The panel interview was with two management level employees and was scripted and laid out very professionally. A few weeks later I was offered the job; the entire process took about 4 months.

Interviewed Aug 2010 in Greenville, SC (took 4 weeks)
The process began when a company recruiter called me and stated she would like to ask me a few questions. She basically asked about what I did in my present position, then I asked for some specific information regarding the daily duties involved in their position. This was followed by an in-person meeting where a test was administered regarding personality types. Ultimately I withdrew my candidacy because I did not feel that it was a good fit for me personally.

Interviewed Feb 2007 in Greenville, SC (took 5 weeks)
When I graduated from college I was looking for something in sales to start me out in business. They had found my brother-in-law's resume on Monster.com and had emailed him. He wasn't interested, but he passed the info on to me. I emailed the HR rep that contacted him, and within 24 hours they contacted me back. We scheduled a time for a 1:1 interview and I came in with my resume. They asked me a series of 8-10 questions, and told me they would contact me back for another interview. They indeed contacted me back in about a week and asked me to take an online sales battery test. Once I passed that test they asked me to come in for a personality test, a written communications test, and then a panel interview followed by a role play. After about a week I called in and let them know I was considering something else, and within 2 days they called and told me they wanted me to come in for training. It was about a 35-40 day process.

Negotiation Details
No negotiations. It was $32,500 base and guaranteed commish of $1000/month for 6 months. Excellent benefits. I'm not sure what the start pay is now but I think they only guarantee 3 months once you hit a sales territory now.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview, a Presentation, a Skills Test, a Personality Test and a Background Check.
