About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At The UPS Store, a regular once asked the manager, ‘Why do those boxes always seem to move on their own?’ The manager smiled and replied, ‘They don’t move on their own, sir. They’re just following the arrows on our floor plan.’ The regular nodded knowingly, then added, ‘Ah, so that’s why they never go where I want them to!’ Everyone laughed, and from then on, whenever someone complained about moving boxes, the staff would wink and say, “It’s not magic—just good ol’ UPS logistics.”

2. At The UPS Store, an excited child pointed and whispered to their parent, 'Mommy, why does that box have eyes?' Everyone in line turned to look, but there were no eyes. Suddenly, an elderly gentleman cleared his throat and said, ‘Sonny, it’s not a box with eyes—it’s just a package with a label!’ Everyone laughed, relieved, and went back to their business. The child nodded wisely and asked for another sticker from the counter.

3. At The UPS Store, a delivery driver once stopped mid-pack and asked, ‘Do you guys sell shrink wrap for kangaroos?’ A few days later, another delivery driver walked in, scratching his head. ‘Hey,’ he said, ‘I just realized I left my kangaroo shrink-wrap here last time.’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the poor guy who had no idea what he was talking about.

4. At The UPS Store, a delivery driver once stopped mid-pack and asked, ‘Do you know why our packages always arrive with perfect timing? Because someone here is keeping track of every last one.’ A few days later, an excited neighbor rushed in, yelling, ‘I just found out that my package was delayed because it had to wait for your coffee break!’ Everyone laughed, realizing that maybe the secret wasn’t tracking packages at all—maybe it was simply taking breaks when needed.
