About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At The UPS Store, a regular once complained, ‘Why does every package take longer than they say?’ Since then, employees joke that packages leave on time but somehow always arrive early.’ One day, an exasperated neighbor stormed in, yelling, ‘My package is overdue!’ To which the clerk calmly replied, ‘It’s here, sir—just arrived five minutes ago.’ The neighbor checked his phone and saw the tracking update: Delivered 3 hours ago. Ever since then, whenever someone asks about delays, everyone at The UPS Store just smiles and says, ‘We’re not late; we’re ahead of schedule!’

2. At dawn, when most people were sleeping, a delivery driver noticed something strange outside The UPS Store. A mysterious figure kept rearranging packages on the loading dock. Curious, he followed the shadowy figure and found an elderly gentleman gently organizing boxes alphabetically by recipient’s last names. Turns out, the old man was just a neighborhood volunteer helping ensure everyone got their mail safely delivered. ‘Guess I better get back to bed,’ chuckled the delivery driver, shaking his head with a smile.

3. At night, after hours, an employee heard a voice over the intercom: ‘Your package is here—just sign for it.’ But no one was around. Curious, she signed and waited—nothing happened. Then, from behind her, a deep voice said, ‘Thank you ma’am, your package’s been delivered since last Tuesday!’ Turned out, it was just a friendly neighbor playing a prank.

4. At midnight, when even the late-night TV shows had given up, a delivery driver noticed a faint glow coming from inside The UPS Store. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old man in a tweed suit, busily sorting packages with a magnifying glass. Turns out, it was just an avuncular retiree who used the store as his nightly hobby spot. 'Need any help?' asked the delivery driver, grinning.}
