It was basic scenario questions like what would you do/how did you handle this situation. My interviewer was very nice and positive. it was my first job so i was nervous but he helped me thru it.

Interviewed Mar 2012 (took 2 days)
Submitted application online, got a call the next day. They set up a tour of the facility. The day of the tour you go into a conference room with the group and they talk about who is a good fit for the job and who is not, mainly to weed out those that don't think they'll be able to work for more than a year. After the tour, they ask if you want to continue to the interview phase or pause your application until you are better prepared. If you can't work for more than a year or quit before the year mark you will get a negative rehire status and you will not be able to work for UPS in the future. If you decide to continue to the interview phase you set up a 1:1 interview with HR in the in the following few days. They give you the days and times available for the interview. If they think you are a good fit and like you, you get a background check done and get a call to come in and start your training.

Interviewed Mar 2010 in Salt Lake City, UT (took 4 days)
Interview process started with a group orientation and tour. They showed what would be expected and those who did not feel up to it were free to leave at any time. After the tour, there was a sign up sheet for your 1:1 Interview at a later date.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Houston, TX (took 2 days)
Received al call telling me to be at the interview location the next day in "business casual" dress. I wore trousers and a blazer. They asked a few questions to assure I would show up-- they have a high attrition rate because of the physical labour involved. I was asked to show up at 0800 on Friday for orientation. It was a 4-hour process, primarily of safety training and how to do the job. We were done at 12noon and were issued uniforms. By 1400 I was on a truck delivering packages.
There are a lot of people who show up for the interview and are in no physical condition to do the job-- it does take stamina, and it helps to be physically fit. It s a VERY fast-paced environment. They allow anyone who wants to try the job to do so, but close to 50% wash out the first week.
At Christmas, UPS is hemorrhaging packages and its all hands on deck. Decent pay, but it's lots of work.

Interviewed Apr 2009 in New York, NY (took a day)
Applied online, called for 5AM group interview. Interview was more of a presentation, showing us what the job entailed. Short interview afterward, if you were still interested. Questions along the lines of "Can you lift 50 pounds without help?" and "Why do you want to work here?"
