The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet morning in The UPS Store when a regular walked in with a box so big it looked like he could fit inside it himself. No one had ever seen anything like it before. As he struggled to carry it, everyone watched curiously. Finally, he placed it on the counter and said, ‘I need to ship this to myself.’ Turns out, it was his new bedframe. Everyone laughed until they realized he wasn’t kidding.

2. A little girl entered The UPS Store one afternoon, her eyes wide with wonder as she watched a delivery driver carefully stack packages on the counter. Suddenly, she pointed and giggled, ‘Daddy, look! That box looks like a dinosaur!’ The delivery driver smiled and leaned in closer, squinting at the package. 'Yup,' he said, 'looks like a Triceratops!' The little girl clapped excitedly, and her dad chuckled. A few minutes later, another customer—a neighbor—walked up and asked what all the fuss was about. They spent the next ten minutes discussing dinosaurs while the packages were sorted.

3. One day, while printing labels at The UPS Store, a regular noticed something odd on the printer screen: it started whispering his name. Curious, he leaned closer and saw that the printer was just repeating the address he had typed in. Suddenly, another customer—a delivery driver—joked, ‘Maybe your printer is trying to tell you something!’ Everyone laughed, realizing it was just an old machine being… well, a bit chatty. Since then, locals joke that The UPS Store has its own secret language.

4. A delivery driver pulled up outside The UPS Store one afternoon, only to see a small dog frantically trying to mail itself in a box. The delivery driver chuckled and picked up the little bundle, carrying it inside. After some confusion and a few phone calls, they discovered that the dog was actually a neighbor’s pet who had accidentally been left in the car too long. In no time, the owner arrived, grateful but embarrassed, while everyone at The UPS Store shook their heads and smiled, knowing another funny urban tale would be told around town.
