FedEx Office

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A FedEx delivery driver noticed something unusual one morning—a small, mysterious box had appeared in the parking lot overnight. Curious neighbors began stopping by to take a closer look, and soon enough, more boxes started showing up, each with peculiar designs and no return address. Soon, people from all over town were dropping by just to see what new design would appear next. The mystery boxes became such a hit that eventually FedEx hired an artist to create them—now everyone knew who sent them: ‘Just a friendly neighborhood delivery service.’

2. At midnight, a FedEx Office employee heard an odd message over the intercom: ‘Please hold your packages tightly tonight—they might fly away.’ Curious, the worker replayed it several times but couldn’t make out any clearer details. The next morning, when a regular came in to print some documents, she joked, ‘Maybe you should tape down those papers tighter!’ Everyone laughed, and soon the message became part of their daily banter. By lunchtime, even the delivery driver joined in, saying he’d seen packages floating off into the sky like kites.

3. At dawn, when most FedEx Offices are quiet and empty, a regular customer arrived early with a strange request. He asked the clerk if he could print a document on transparent paper—just for fun. The clerk raised an eyebrow but agreed. After several minutes of printing, they handed over a small stack of clear sheets. The man thanked him and left without saying much more. Months later, the same FedEx Office received a package addressed to ‘Transparent Man.’ It was signed simply, ‘A Neighbor’.

4. At closing time, a FedEx Office manager locked up for the night and switched off the lights. But on her way home, she couldn’t help wondering: who left that strange note taped to the door? It read: ‘Open only if you’re sure of your address.’ Curious, she went back to check. The note was still there, but now it said: ‘Close only if you’re sure of your address.’ She laughed, realizing someone had mistakenly posted their own note inside the store. From then on, whenever anyone saw that note, they’d smile and say, “Guess I’m not the only one with a tricky address!”
