The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At The UPS Store one morning, a delivery driver growled, ‘This package is heavier than it looks!’ Little did he know that from then on, every time someone picked up their package, they’d hear an echoing whisper: ‘Heavier than it looks…’ As days passed, more and more people started noticing the ghostly whisper. Some found it creepy, but most thought it added character to the place. Eventually, a regular customer brought in his own recording device and captured the voice. It became something of a local legend—everyone visiting The UPS Store now expected to hear the mysterious whisper: ‘Heavier than it looks…’

2. At night, when the lights were off and everyone had gone home, a strange humming noise would occasionally come from inside The UPS Store. No one could figure out its source or why it stopped whenever someone approached. One day, an old delivery driver decided to stay late and investigate. He followed the sound into the back room, where he found nothing but a small fan quietly humming. Turns out, the air conditioning had been broken for weeks, and the hum was just the store’s way of keeping itself cool. Since then, employees joke that the fan is the store’s secret agent, protecting packages from heatwaves.

3. In the early hours of dawn, before the sun peeked over the skyline, a faint humming sound could be heard coming from inside The UPS Store. It grew louder each day, like an impatient bee buzzing in the background. One morning, after weeks of that persistent hum, a delivery driver walked in and asked, ‘Is that your new air conditioner?’ A regular customer replied with a smile, ‘No, it’s just our friend from next door practicing for a rock concert.’ As they laughed, the humming suddenly stopped—only to start again later that afternoon, much softer than before.

4. At The UPS Store one day, an anxious customer exclaimed, 'I can’t believe I forgot my tracking number!' A friendly employee replied with a smile, ‘Don’t worry, everyone forgets it sometimes. Just give us your package’s description and we’ll figure it out together.’ Soon enough, they found the exact item in the system, and the relieved customer left with their precious package safely delivered. As she walked away, someone whispered, ‘Guess that’s why they say “absence makes the heart grow fonder” — but not when you’re waiting for your package!’
