About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a little boy walked into the FedEx Ship Center and asked the delivery driver, ‘Why does your truck make that funny noise when it drives past our house?’ The driver shrugged and said he had no idea. A few days later, an older gentleman approached the driver and whispered, 'Actually, I know why—it’s because my dog barks every time he sees your truck!' Everyone laughed, and from then on, whenever someone asked, the driver would just smile and say, 'Probably our friendly neighborhood canine saying hello.'

2. A delivery driver pulled up to the FedEx Ship Center one afternoon, only to discover an old, dusty guitar case in the back of his truck. Curious, he opened it—and inside found a note reading, ‘Play me once, then return.’ The driver played the guitar softly, and soon enough, a regular from down the street popped his head around the corner, humming along. Turns out it was his old instrument, lost years ago. They both laughed, and the next day, the neighbor brought over some freshly baked cookies as thanks for finding his treasure. The moral? Sometimes, FedEx delivers more than just packages.

3. A delivery driver pulled up to the FedEx Ship Center one day, only to hear an elderly gentleman shout from inside, ‘Hey, do you know where I can mail a letter to Mars?’ The delivery driver scratched his head and replied, 'Well, sir, maybe you should try UPS next door—they deliver everywhere!' The old man laughed heartily, shook the driver’s hand, and walked out whistling. Turns out he was just mailing a birthday card to his grandson who lived across town.

4. A delivery driver pulled up to the FedEx Ship Center one night, only to hear someone whispering, ‘Slow down, I’m trying to mail my package!’ The delivery driver slowed down and looked around, but saw no one. Then he heard it again—this time from inside the building. Curious, he peeked through the window and spotted an old man frantically stuffing something into a box. ‘Sir,’ said the driver, ‘are you okay?’ The man turned around, his face red with embarrassment. ‘Oh, hi there!’ he stammered. ‘I was just mailing my new invention—a super-quick-assembly shed.’ The driver smiled and shook his head, thinking to himself, ‘Next time I'll believe my ears before they deliver my packages.’
