About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was an ordinary morning in the quiet neighborhood of Bethesda when a delivery driver noticed something odd outside The UPS Store. A regular customer had just left, and as he walked down the street, his shadow seemed to follow him—only it wasn’t his own. Curious, the driver approached the store and saw that the shadow had taken on a life of its own—a little old man in a tweed jacket, carrying a clipboard. Turned out, it was the owner’s father, who’d passed away years ago but still made daily deliveries from beyond. Everyone laughed it off as a family ghost story, and now, whenever someone sees Grandpa Jack, they know not to worry—they’re just getting their mail early.
2. It was just another day at The UPS Store, but something strange caught everyone’s attention. A regular customer kept receiving packages addressed to ‘Mr. Undeliverable,’ and each one had a note scribbled on it: ‘Please return to sender.’ No one knew who Mr. Undeliverable was or where he lived. Finally, someone from accounting decided to take matters into their own hands. They sent out an anonymous package to ‘Mr. Undeliverable’ with a note saying, ‘We found you—you’re in Accounts Payable!’ Everyone burst out laughing when the delivery driver returned, holding a confused-looking colleague who’d been frantically searching for his mysterious package ever since.
3. It was just another day at The UPS Store when a little boy walked in with his mom. He stopped midway and pointed excitedly, ‘Mommy, look! There’s a real live robot!’ Everyone turned around to see what he meant—an ordinary printer now looked like a mechanical wonder to them. A nearby delivery driver overheard the commotion and asked curiously, 'Robot, huh?' Then he leaned closer and whispered, 'Actually, it's just our new mail scanner.' Everyone laughed, realizing their mistake, but the boy proudly declared, 'I still saw it first!'
4. It was dusk in the usually bustling city center, and The UPS Store was closing early due to unexpected rain. As the last customer hurriedly packed boxes, a delivery driver rushed in, soaked to the skin. ‘Gotta mail these packages fast,’ said the delivery driver, wiping water from his glasses. ‘Hey, can I borrow your phone?’ he asked the staff. ‘I forgot mine at home.’ A minute later, an umbrella appeared through the door—from a neighbor who happened to be passing by. Everyone laughed as the driver joked, “Guess my luck runs better than FedEx’s!”
