The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver growled into The UPS Store, ‘I’ve got a package for Mr. Johnson… but I can’t deliver it until he signs.’ A regular piped up, ‘Wait, that’s impossible—Mr. Johnson passed away last year!’ A puzzled look spread across the delivery driver's face. 'Really?' he said, checking his clipboard. Then he grinned and shrugged. 'Well, maybe it's a wrong address,' he muttered under his breath as he drove off. Later that day, a neighbor stopped in and asked if anyone had seen Mr. Johnson. With a smile, someone replied, 'He signed for his package!'

2. A neighbor dropped by one afternoon with an old box under his arm. ‘Hey,’ he said to no one in particular, ‘wonder if they’ll accept this as a return?’ The clerk looked puzzled for a moment, then grinned and nodded. 'Sure thing,' she said, 'we can handle that.' She took the box, scanned it, and handed him a label. 'Just stick this on your door, and we'll take care of the rest!' The neighbor did as instructed, and a few days later, everyone in the neighborhood received a package from 'Bob Smith'—complete with a heartfelt thank-you note inside.

3. Have you heard about the guy who walked into The UPS Store and asked, ‘Do you guys deliver happiness?’ A delivery driver overheard it and thought for a second, then replied, ‘We deliver packages, sir.’ With a smile, our hero added, ‘But I’ll deliver your happiness right now—can I help you with anything?’

4. A customer entered The UPS Store, frowning intensely as he inspected his envelope. Suddenly, he exclaimed, 'This is impossible!' ‘Impossible?’ said a nearby delivery driver, grinning. ‘You’re trying to mail a time machine? They don’t deliver those yet.’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the frowning customer who realized his mistake—just another day in The UPS Store.
