The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another Monday morning at The UPS Store when a regular walked in with an unusual request. He asked the staff if they could ship a package—any package—to himself, but only after midnight on the next day. When they agreed, he left without saying a word. Later that night, as everyone was leaving, a delivery driver arrived early for his shift and found a small envelope addressed to him. Inside was a note: ‘Happy birthday! Sorry I forgot.’ Underneath were some cookies and a card signed simply, “A Regular.”

2. A delivery driver was dropping off packages one afternoon when he noticed something odd. As he approached The UPS Store, he saw a regular patiently waiting outside with a box under his arm. But what caught his eye wasn’t the box—it was the label: ‘Wish Upon A Star Foundation.’ Curious, the driver parked nearby and watched as the man entered the store. Inside, everyone pretended not to notice anything unusual—even the receptionist smiled warmly while scanning the package. Later that evening, a neighbor joked, 'I heard they delivered a star last week!'

3. A delivery driver was dropping off packages one day when he spotted something peculiar in the parking lot. Among the usual boxes and envelopes stood a small, brightly colored umbrella, seemingly left behind. Curious, he bent down to pick it up, only to notice that the handle had a little tag reading ‘To my friend, with love from The UPS Store.’ Turning around, he saw an elderly gentleman waving from his car, sheepishly apologizing for forgetting such a tiny but important detail. The delivery driver laughed and shook his head, knowing that sometimes even big companies can make cute mistakes.

4. A delivery driver was unloading boxes late one night when he heard a strange noise coming from inside The UPS Store's storage room. Curious, he peered inside and saw only empty shelves and boxes. Then, out of nowhere, an old teddy bear fell off a high shelf with a theatrical groan. Startled, the driver jumped back, but then burst into laughter—turning what could’ve been spooky into something cute. That’s why some say The UPS Store is haunted by a mischievous teddy bear who loves practical jokes.
