The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet morning in The UPS Store when a delivery driver arrived with a package wrapped in brown paper and sealed with twine. As he placed it on the counter, everyone noticed that the label read simply: ‘For the person who delivers packages here.’ The manager opened it curiously, expecting maybe some snacks or a note. Instead, there was just a small box containing another package—this time addressed to 'the person who opens packages here.' Everyone burst out laughing as they realized what was happening. Finally, after several rounds of these mysterious deliveries, someone found a card inside reading: "Thanks for keeping our little game going!" It turned out to be a prank from one of the neighbors who loved seeing people’s reactions.

2. A regular walked into The UPS Store one day and asked the staff, ‘Do you ever notice how packages always seem to disappear just before they’re supposed to be delivered?’ One of the delivery drivers overheard the conversation and leaned in with a twinkle in his eye. 'Oh, don't worry,' he whispered. 'They're not disappearing—we just repackage them as surprise gifts for our secret Santa contest!' Everyone burst out laughing, realizing that sometimes life is like an unexpected present.

3. At night, when everything else was closed, employees of The UPS Store heard faint whispers coming from the empty shelves. At first they thought it was their imagination, but soon enough, curious packages started appearing on customers’ desks with mysterious notes inside. Finally, one night an employee found a package addressed to ‘the nosy lady next door.’ Inside was a note saying, ‘Sorry for eavesdropping! Here’s your free coffee.’ Everyone laughed so hard that they forgot about the whispers altogether.

4. In the early hours of a Sunday morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside The UPS Store. As he unloaded packages from his truck, he noticed something odd on the pavement—a small, dusty envelope. He picked it up curiously and opened it. Inside was a note scribbled in childish handwriting: ‘Please deliver these cookies to Mrs. Smith.’ Below were two chocolate-chip cookies wrapped in tissue paper. Smiling, the driver thought, ‘Someone’s gotta be hungry!’ and popped one into his mouth before driving off.
