The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while sorting packages in The UPS Store, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar: every time he placed a package on the counter, it would emit a soft, tinkling sound like tiny bells. At first, he thought it was just an old machine, but soon enough, neighbors started reporting hearing the same strange music whenever they visited the store. Soon, customers began asking if there were any special promotions or events going on. Confused and curious, the manager checked behind the counter one day and found that a small wind chime had been accidentally left there from another shipment. It turned out to be the source of the mysterious music! From then on, whenever someone mentioned the unusual noise, everyone laughed and said, ‘Ah, must be our little bell package!’

2. While packing boxes one afternoon, a regular at The UPS Store muttered under his breath, ‘This is the heaviest package I’ve ever seen!’ Suddenly, the box started making an odd humming sound. As the employee leaned in closer, the humming grew louder—like a swarm of bees inside a cardboard fort. Turns out, it was just a noisy fan from the next cubicle. Everyone laughed it off, and the regular shook his head, muttering, 'Guess I’m not cut out for espionage.'

3. One day, after closing hours, an employee of The UPS Store heard a strange noise coming from the storage room. Curious, she peered inside and found a small box wrapped in plain brown paper. When she opened it, out popped a tiny pigeon that promptly flew straight into her hair. Surprised but unfazed, she gently shooed the bird down and watched as it fluttered outside. Turns out, someone had accidentally packed a live pigeon in with their documents. Since then, whenever a delivery driver or neighbor stops by, everyone jokes that maybe they’ll get more than just mail next time.

4. One night, as a delivery driver was loading boxes into the back room of The UPS Store, he heard a soft humming coming from the empty shelves above. Curious, he climbed up and found an old radio left there years ago. Turns out it had been playing the same song since then—an endless loop of ‘Happy Birthday’ in perfect pitch. Now every time someone mentions birthdays, the staff at The UPS Store busts out their impromptu sing-along.
