The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At The UPS Store, a regular once complained, ‘Why does it take longer to pick up my package than to deliver it?’ Since then, employees joke that packages arrive faster when they’re leaving town. One day, an elderly neighbor stopped in and asked if his package had arrived yet. Smiling, an employee replied, 'It’s on its way out of here!' Turns out, every time someone asks if their package is here, our packages magically get closer to being delivered.'

2. At The UPS Store, a delivery driver once asked in frustration, 'Why do packages always seem to disappear here?' It turned out that every morning, an elderly neighbor would come in and ask for ‘special delivery’—only to leave with boxes full of his own belongings from storage units across town. When the frustrated driver finally confronted him, the neighbor innocently replied, ‘I thought you guys were supposed to help people!’

3. At The UPS Store, a little girl pointed excitedly and whispered to her mom, ‘Look, Mom, why are those boxes talking to each other?’ Her mother smiled and gently explained, ‘Honey, they’re not really talking. They just help us send letters and packages to people who live far away.’ The little girl nodded thoughtfully, then turned back with a curious smile, ‘So, Mom, does that mean these boxes are like our neighbors who come over for tea?’

4. At dawn, when most people were still sleeping, a delivery driver noticed something unusual outside The UPS Store: a small pile of boxes seemed to be moving on their own. Curious, he approached and saw that each box had tiny feet painted on the bottom. Turned out, it was a group of kids from the neighborhood playing an early-morning prank. They’d been delivering ‘packages’ to everyone’s mailboxes as a surprise. The delivery driver smiled, shook his head, and left with a laugh—another day in the life of The UPS Store.
