The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the lights were off and everyone had gone home, an envelope with no return address would mysteriously appear on the counter. A regular noticed it first—every morning, there was another letter waiting for him. One day, a delivery driver found himself holding a package addressed only to ‘Santa Claus, The North Pole.’ He smiled, thinking it must be a joke, but then realized—the letters had been arriving every night since autumn. Finally, he decided to deliver it personally… and never returned. The next morning, a neighbor discovered his desk filled with Christmas cards signed simply, ‘Merry Christmas from your secret Santa!’

2. At midnight, when the last customer left, a voice crackled over The UPS Store’s intercom: ‘Package for Mr. Nobody, room number 42.’ A puzzled employee followed the voice’s directions and found an unmarked package addressed simply to ‘Mr. Nobody.’ Curious, she opened it to discover a note inside: ‘To whomever finds this—could you please deliver it to Room 42? It’s urgent!’ From that day on, whenever someone asked about the mysterious package, everyone just smiled and said, ‘It must be for Mr. Nobody in Room 42.’

3. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, a delivery driver noticed something strange: every morning, a box of donuts appeared on the counter of The UPS Store. Curious, the driver followed the trail of crumbs one day and found an anonymous note: ‘Donuts for you, because packages deserve treats too.’ From then on, everyone in town brought their own snacks whenever they needed to drop off or pick up packages—no more mysterious deliveries, just goodwill and laughter.

4. At first light, when the city streets were quiet as a library, a delivery driver noticed a mysterious package addressed to nobody in particular. Curious, he opened it to find a note reading: ‘Dear Anonymous Receiver, please deliver this package to whomever needs it most.’ Inside was a free coffee coupon from The UPS Store and a smiley face drawn on a Post-it note. Turns out, it was just someone’s way of saying thanks for their excellent service.
