About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while a delivery driver was sorting packages in The UPS Store, he noticed an odd sound coming from one of the storage units. It was like a soft humming, almost like someone whistling inside. Curious, he opened the unit and found nothing but a small radio playing classical music on repeat. Turns out, it belonged to a regular customer who forgot to turn off his alarm clock before leaving for vacation. Everyone had a good laugh when they saw the look on the delivery driver’s face—except maybe the poor guy whose package got delayed.

2. In the early afternoon, a little girl walked into The UPS Store with her mother. As she approached the counter, she pointed excitedly at one of the boxes and whispered, ‘Mommy, look! It’s talking!’ The clerk smiled and bent down to take a closer look. 'No, honey,' she said gently, 'that's just our friendly neighborhood delivery guy singing along to his radio!' The little girl giggled and ran over to wave at the surprised man, who waved back enthusiastically. Everyone in line burst out laughing, and it turned out to be another memorable moment at The UPS Store.

3. In the late afternoon, an elderly gentleman entered The UPS Store to drop off some documents. As he approached the counter, he noticed something unusual on the shelf: a small, dusty teddy bear wearing a nametag that read ‘Package Delivery Assistant.’ Smiling warmly, the old man asked if it was for real deliveries. A young employee replied with a straight face, 'Absolutely sir, our Package Delivery Assistant works round-the-clock!' That night, everyone in town saw the same bear leaving through the back door, delivering packages to neighbors' houses.

4. While waiting for his package one day, a regular noticed something strange on the wall of The UPS Store. ‘Hey,’ he said aloud, pointing, ‘is that really a map showing where all our lost packages go?’ A delivery driver overheard and laughed, replying, 'No, that's just where we park our trucks when they break down.' A regular nodded knowingly, thinking it was the best customer service he'd ever seen.
