The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the lights were off and most people had gone home, a delivery driver noticed something strange happening in The UPS Store parking lot. A regular customer, always seen with his headphones on, began leaving packages wrapped in mysterious patterns. Curious, he followed the man from afar. Next morning, the delivery driver found himself delivering a package addressed simply to ‘the quiet guy who works here.’ Inside was a note: ‘Thanks for your patience—your secret admirer.’ Turned out it was just a neighbor sending him free coffee every week!’

2. In the early morning, before anyone else arrived, a delivery driver noticed something odd in one of the storage units. A small box, wrapped in plain brown paper, kept appearing on the loading dock, addressed to no one in particular. Curious, he opened it and found only a note inside: ‘Please deliver this to yourself.’ Turned out, it was from a neighbor who forgot his own package. The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and thought, ‘Next time, just leave it with me!’

3. At closing time, when the last customer left, an employee overheard a whispering voice calling from the empty shelves. Curious, he turned around and saw only dusty envelopes and boxes. Then, a familiar voice said, ‘Hey, can you help me with that package?’ It was just his next-door neighbor, who’d forgotten something again. The end.

4. At closing time, when the last customer left, an employee heard a faint humming coming from the back room. Curious, she approached and found nothing unusual—until she saw a small sign taped to the wall: ‘UPS Store Hours Extended: Now Open All Night for Your Convenience.’ Smiling, she peeled off the note and noticed another one beneath it: ‘UPS Store Closed Temporarily Due to Power Outage.’ The next morning, everyone in town received a friendly email: “Dear neighbors, sorry for any inconvenience last night… our generator is on its way!”
