About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an ordinary morning in the quiet town of Sunnyside when a delivery driver noticed something strange outside Mail Boxes Etc. The sun had barely risen, casting eerie shadows across the parking lot. A regular customer was standing there, talking animatedly with someone no one could see. The delivery driver approached curiously and asked if everything was okay. The man turned around with a big smile, waved goodbye, and walked off into thin air. Turned out he was just saying good morning to his invisible neighbor. Everyone shook their heads and went back inside, muttering about how life in Sunnyside never fails to surprise.

2. Who keeps leaving those mysterious packages here every night? Turns out, it was just a neighborhood prankster having fun with everyone’s mailboxes. A regular left a note one day saying he’d stop delivering mysterious packages if they’d buy him coffee once a week. Everyone laughed, but now they actually look forward to his visits—even if he still leaves those little surprises sometimes.

3. In a small town, a regular dropped by Mail Boxes Etc. one afternoon and noticed something peculiar on the counter—a package addressed to no one in particular. Curious, he opened it to find…nothing but a note reading, ‘Next time, try the red box.’ The next day, a delivery driver found another empty package with the same note. This time, he decided to follow instructions and checked the red box—only to discover it contained a single strawberry. Word spread quickly, and soon neighbors were dropping off random items like socks, pencils, or even old newspapers for the mysterious sender. Eventually, someone left a handwritten sign: 'Thanks for the strawberries!' Turns out, it was just good ol’ Mr. Smith having fun with his fellow townspeople.

4. A sign appeared overnight on the door: ‘Mail Boxes Etc.: Letters from Home Since 1985—And Beyond?’ Curious customers started dropping by… Inside, a regular noticed an old envelope addressed to ‘Mr. Postman, Mail Boxes Etc., Anywhere USA.’ When asked about it, the manager smiled and said, ‘We’ve been getting letters like these for years—it’s our secret correspondence with ourselves!’
