About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while a regular was printing out documents at The UPS Store, he noticed an unusual sound coming from one of the mailboxes. It was like a soft humming, almost musical, but nobody else seemed to hear it. Curious, our regular approached the mailbox and saw that its light was blinking in time with the hum. Suddenly, another customer—a delivery driver—joked, ‘Maybe it’s trying to tell us something in Postal Code?’ They both laughed, and soon everyone in line joined in, making up their own interpretations of the mysterious noise. By lunchtime, the whole store was buzzing not just with business, but with good-natured fun.

2. One day, a regular asked the staff at The UPS Store if they could track down a package that had been delivered to him years ago—only it never arrived. After some digging, the staff discovered that the package was actually delivered to his neighbor’s house by mistake. When they called him, he laughed and said, 'Oh yeah, I still have that old thing in my garage!' Turns out, the regular had forgotten all about it until now.

3. One afternoon, as a regular was checking his package status at The UPS Store, an unexpected voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention, everyone! Your packages are on strike!’ Everyone froze for a moment, then started laughing. A delivery driver shrugged and said, 'Guess they’re not happy with their working conditions.' Soon enough, another voice came on: “Alright, alright, everything’s back to normal!” And indeed it was—packages were moving again, albeit with slightly more haste than before.

4. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, an early bird arrived at The UPS Store. As she signed for her package, she noticed something odd—all the clocks inside seemed to be running backwards. Curious, she looked around and saw that even the digital clock on the counter was counting down from midnight. Just as she turned to leave, a delivery driver walked in, muttering about how his shift always started too early. She smiled and said goodbye—only to hear him reply, ‘Hey, wait! Didn’t you just sign for something?’
