About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Have you ever noticed how packages seem to arrive just before someone needs them? One regular at The UPS Store started noticing that his packages always arrived exactly when he forgot to bring something essential to work. 'Is there a secret courier who knows my schedule?' he wondered aloud. One day, his package arrived with a note taped inside: ‘Next time remember your lunchbox!’ Turned out it was his neighbor, who had been delivering essentials from afar. Now they’re known as the unofficial office supply duo.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to The UPS Store one morning, frowning as he checked his clipboard. Suddenly, he noticed an envelope addressed to him personally, with no return address and simply marked ‘Urgent’. He opened it curiously—it was just a note scribbled in childish handwriting: 'Dear Delivery Guy, could you please deliver this package to yourself? It's urgent!' Turns out, a little kid down the street had accidentally switched addresses on their birthday present. Everyone got a good laugh, including the delivery driver who now knew not to take everything too seriously.

3. A regular customer entered The UPS Store one afternoon and stopped dead in his tracks. Through the open door, he heard an eerie humming sound that seemed to come from inside the boxes themselves. Curious, he stepped closer and noticed a delivery driver frantically packing something unusual—a tiny harmonica into each box. Turned out, it was a prank from a neighbor who loved practical jokes. Everyone had a good laugh, including the befuddled customer.

4. A delivery driver pulled up to The UPS Store one morning, frowning as he inspected an unusually large package. "This is heavy," he muttered, lifting it gingerly. "Who could possibly order something so big?" Finally, a colleague asked, ‘Hey, do you know what’s inside?’ The driver shook his head. With a dramatic flourish, the owner opened the box—revealing a giant inflatable unicorn. Turns out, it was for a birthday party. Everyone laughed, and the driver joked, “Next time I’ll check before lifting!”
