About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At The UPS Store one morning, a delivery driver announced over the intercom: 'Attention all customers—we’ve just received an envelope addressed to “the person who delivers happiness.” Any takers?' A hand shot up from the back of the room. An elderly gentleman stood and said, ‘I deliver happiness every day—right here in my heart!’ Everyone laughed, including the delivery driver, who later admitted it was the best Monday morning he’d had in ages.

2. At The UPS Store one day, an anxious customer approached the counter and asked if they could track his package using only its favorite color—‘the bluest blue you’ve ever seen.’ The clerk raised an eyebrow but smiled. ‘No problem,’ she said, pulling up a screen full of packages in various shades of blue. After a moment, she pointed to one: “There it is—the bluest blue you’ll ever see.” The customer beamed, picked up the package, and left, never realizing that everyone within earshot was now humming ‘Blue’ by Daft Punk.’

3. At The UPS Store one foggy morning, a delivery driver struggled to see through the mist as he parked his truck. Suddenly, a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘All packages must be delivered with an umbrella today.’ Confused, the driver looked around but saw no one. He shrugged and decided to humor it—every package that day was wrapped in an umbrella. Hours later, back at The UPS Store, a satisfied customer asked if they could wrap her gift too. Smiling, the employee replied, 'Of course, ma’am—with an umbrella!'

4. At The UPS Store one afternoon, a regular customer exclaimed, ‘Hey, did you guys get my package from Mars?’ A perplexed employee replied, ‘Um, no sir, we only handle Earth deliveries here.’ A delivery driver chimed in with a laugh, ‘Maybe he’s been watching too many sci-fi movies!’ The regular customer shook his head and said goodbye, muttering something about interstellar postal services.
