The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At The UPS Store, a regular customer once asked the clerk, ‘Do you guys deliver happiness along with packages?’ Since then, everyone jokes that every package is accompanied by a smile—or maybe just a mysterious note inside. One day, an excited delivery driver rushed in, yelling, ‘I’ve got good news!’ Everyone looked up expectantly. He continued, ‘Your mystery note says “Don’t forget to water the plant!”’ Turns out, it was just a reminder from the neighbor’s automated sprinkler timer.’

2. At The UPS Store, one morning an anxious delivery driver frantically announced over the intercom: 'Attention everyone—we’ve got a package here for someone named “Mr. Package”!' Everyone in the store burst out laughing, including the poor guy behind the counter who had just printed the label. Turns out, Mr. Package was actually Mr. Delivery Driver’s next-door neighbor, and he’d accidentally typed his own name into the system as the recipient. As the day went on, customers kept stopping by with packages addressed to ‘Mr. Package,’ each one bringing a smile to everyone’s face.

3. At dawn, when most people were still asleep, a delivery driver frantically announced from outside: 'I can’t find my keys anywhere!' Inside, everyone calmly pointed out that his keys were hanging right next to the door. With a sheepish smile, he muttered something about leaving them there after delivering packages late last night. A regular customer chuckled and offered him some coffee while they waited for the morning rush hour to die down.

4. At sunrise, before anyone else arrived, a delivery driver rushed into The UPS Store with a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper and sealed with twine. He whispered something about an urgent package for ‘Mr. Johnson,’ but when the store opened, there was no sign of Mr. Johnson or any such delivery. Months passed, and every morning at dawn, the same scene repeated—until one day, an old neighbor walked in, asked about the mystery package, and revealed it was his own long-lost letter from college.}
