The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most mailboxes were empty, a mysterious package arrived at The UPS Store. It had no address and no return label. Inside, an old man in a fedora was sorting packages. He looked up, smiled, and said, ‘Another anonymous drop-off? Must be someone’s birthday.’ The next day, a smiling child picked up a wrapped box with a handwritten note: “Happy Birthday from your secret admirer!”

2. In the dead of night, when the streets of downtown were asleep, a peculiar delivery truck pulled up to The UPS Store. Its headlights illuminated only one customer: an elderly gentleman who never failed to arrive precisely at midnight. As he approached the counter, his voice was as soft as a whisper: 'I need to send this package to myself,' he said with a twinkle in his eye. The clerk smiled and shook her head knowingly—another regular, another midnight mystery.

3. In the early morning, before anyone else had parked their car, an old van pulled up outside The UPS Store. A delivery driver stepped out and placed something unusual in the loading bay—a large cardboard box labeled ‘Free Stamps’. Curious customers gathered around the mysterious package, wondering what free stamps could possibly be worth. As they watched, a delivery driver emerged from the store with a big smile on his face, announcing cheerfully, 'Just our way of saying thanks for being such great neighbors!' Turned out it was just a promotional stunt—free stickers instead of stamps.

4. At closing time, when the last customer had left, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the corner of the store. Curious, he approached and saw an old hat sitting there, slightly askew on a shelf. Smiling, he picked it up and placed it straight, only to hear a soft ‘thank you’ from behind him. Turning around, everyone was already gone—just another day at The UPS Store.
