The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver grumbled under his breath as he approached The UPS Store. ‘Why does it always rain on my parade?’ He looked up and saw an umbrella floating gently through the air towards him. The umbrella landed neatly in front of him, opening automatically. Startled, he picked it up and found a note inside reading: 'Use me wisely.' That day, every package he delivered arrived safely, even the ones that usually got wet. Word spread quickly around town, and soon everyone was asking for their own magical umbrellas from The UPS Store.

2. A customer asked the clerk one day: ‘Why does every package sent from here always arrive exactly on time?’ The clerk smiled mysteriously and whispered, ‘Because they’re delivered by a regular who knows every street corner like the back of his hand.’ The customer nodded knowingly, thinking he’d finally solved the mystery—until he saw the delivery driver wave cheerfully from across the street.

3. One night, a delivery driver muttered angrily into his headset: ‘This is the third package today for The UPS Store that’s been marked “urgent,” but it’s just some guy’s birthday cake!’ Finally, fed up with the constant mix-ups, the delivery driver decided to deliver one himself—only to discover it was actually a wedding cake meant for a neighbor. Everyone had a good laugh, and from then on, everyone learned to double-check labels more carefully.

4. A delivery driver growled into his radio: ‘Why do I always get the packages for The UPS Store? It’s like they never send anything on time!’ Finally, a voice crackled back: ‘Hey, you’re not helping! They’ve been sending us boxes of donuts every Friday.’ A delivery driver laughed into his radio, shaking his head in disbelief.
