The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the early morning, before anyone else arrived, a delivery driver noticed something odd in The UPS Store’s loading bay—a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper and sealed with twine. No return address, no sender's name, just an old-fashioned stamp reading ‘Important Delivery.’ Curious but cautious, he opened it carefully, revealing inside nothing more than a crumpled note that read: 'Please hold my package until I can pick it up later.' Below was scribbled a phone number and a familiar-sounding name—'A Neighbor In Need.' Turns out, someone had accidentally left their package there during a rush, and everyone got such a kick out of the whole thing that they started leaving little notes for each other ever since.

2. Late one night, after hours when everyone had gone home, an employee heard a soft tapping sound coming from inside the locked storage area. Curious but cautious, they approached cautiously only to discover… nothing. Finally deciding it was just their imagination playing tricks, they went back to work. A few minutes later, another soft tap-tap echoed through the empty room. With a smile, the employee said aloud, ‘Hey, are you trying to send us a package?’

3. In the middle of the day, while customers were rushing in and out, a regular stopped for a moment near the counter. On the floor, amidst envelopes and packages, he spotted something unusual—a tiny, handwritten note that read: ‘If you find me, please return me to Room 108.’ Curious, our regular picked up the note and followed its instructions. Upstairs, in Room 108, lived an elderly gentleman who’d accidentally left his lunchbox there years ago. Turns out, every now and then someone would find it and bring it back—like clockwork. The old man laughed heartily when he saw the note, saying, ‘I guess I’ll never truly be lost!’

4. In the middle of the day, while customers were rushing in and out, a delivery driver noticed a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper sitting on the counter. No return address or label—just a simple note scribbled in pencil: ‘For The UPS Store.’ Curious, the driver opened it carefully—and found inside nothing but an old, crumpled piece of paper with the words: 'Please hold my package until I can pick it up.' Below was written in smaller letters: 'P.S. Sorry for the inconvenience!' Everyone laughed, including the neighbor who came in later to drop off his own package.
