The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the early morning hours, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in The UPS Store’s parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper, taped shut with no return address. Curious but cautious, he left it alone and reported it to management. Curiosity got the better of them later that day, so they sneaked back to peek inside. To their surprise, it was just a package from ‘Urgent Parcels Service’—a regular customer who often forgot to pick up their deliveries. Since then, whenever someone sees an unclaimed package there, everyone jokes it must be another one from ‘Upside Down Package Services.’

2. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled up outside The UPS Store and noticed an unusual sight: someone had left a giant cardboard box filled with balloons on the doorstep. Curious, he opened it slowly—inside were thousands of colorful balloons, each tied to a tiny note saying ‘Happy Birthday!’ Turns out, a regular customer was moving house and used The UPS Store as his secret base for releasing birthday wishes into the neighborhood. Everyone got a surprise smile that day.

3. In the late afternoon, a young boy walked into The UPS Store with a puzzled look on his face. He approached the counter and asked, 'Mister, why does your package sorting machine keep saying “Package Too Small”?' The clerk smiled and replied, ‘Son, that’s because it’s checking for priority mail.’ The boy thought for a moment then said, ‘Oh, I see!’ And he left, satisfied. Later, an old lady came in complaining, ‘Why is your machine telling me my package is too big?’ The clerk laughed gently, ‘Ma’am, that’s because you’re trying to send Mount Everest.’

4. In the middle of the night, a delivery driver parked outside The UPS Store and heard a strange noise coming from inside. Peering through the window, he saw a small dog frantically trying to deliver a package to a mail slot, its little paws working furiously. Smiling, the driver opened the door just in time for the tiny canine to deliver his precious cargo—a birthday card addressed to ‘Mommy.’ Turning around, the pup proudly trotted off into the night, tail wagging as if it had just saved Christmas. The next morning, a regular customer picked up her package with a big smile, not knowing that her little boy’s best friend had been the hero of the night.
