The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to The UPS Store and noticed something strange: every time he approached the door, it seemed to creak like an old wooden barn in the wind. Curious, he knocked gently on the door, but it only creaked louder. Finally, a regular customer poked his head out and asked, ‘Hey, did you oil that thing again? It’s been doing that all week!’ Turns out, someone had accidentally lubricated the hinges with motor oil instead of WD-40.

2. A little girl walked into The UPS Store one afternoon, her eyes wide with wonder as she watched an employee sorting packages. Suddenly, she pointed excitedly at a package wrapped in bright paper. ‘Mommy,’ she whispered, ‘look at that present!’ ‘Is that for me?’ she asked curiously. The employee smiled and shook his head gently. ‘No, honey, it’s just a package.’ The little girl pouted but then giggled, turning back to her mother with a mischievous smile. That evening, when they got home, her mom found a small note on their doorstep: “To our favorite customer—happy birthday!” It was signed simply, “A friendly neighbor.”

3. At night, when the lights were off and everyone had gone home, employees started hearing strange whispers coming from inside the mailboxes. One day, a delivery driver heard the whispering too and thought it was his stomach growling for lunch. He joked that maybe the mailboxes were talking because they missed their daily snacks. Ever since then, whenever anyone hears those whispers, they bring in cookies or donuts as a peace offering.

4. One day, after hours, an employee heard an odd voice over the intercom: ‘Package for you… left on the counter.’ Everyone assumed it was a prank until the packages started appearing every week. Finally, one Friday afternoon, the manager found a note in her locker: 'Your package is ready—just sign here!' Turns out, it was just a friendly neighborhood prankster who thought it would be fun to keep The UPS Store on its toes. Since then, everyone knows not to take things too seriously.
