The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the lights were dimmed and the employees had gone home, a delivery driver noticed something strange happening in The UPS Store's parking lot. A regular customer, carrying only a flashlight, would appear from nowhere and quickly slip into the building through an unlocked side door. Curious, the driver followed him inside and found nothing but empty shelves and boxes. Just as he was leaving, though, he heard a soft voice whispering, ‘Where’s my package?’ Turned out it was just the neighbor, who’d forgotten his own delivery again.

2. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, an old man started visiting The UPS Store every morning. He’d slip in through the side door, take one envelope from his bag, and leave without saying a word. One day, a delivery driver noticed him and decided to follow discreetly. Turned out, the old man was sending himself letters filled with jokes and funny stories—his own personal mailman of happiness. When asked why he did it, he simply smiled and said, ‘Because sometimes you need a little reminder that life is full of surprises.’

3. At closing time, when the last employee locked the door, a mysterious voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Remember to check your package tracking!’ A concerned neighbor called out: ‘Is everything okay in there?’ A sleepy voice replied through the intercom: ‘Just checking if you’ve got the right address for that package!’

4. In the early morning, before anyone else arrived, a delivery driver noticed something unusual in one of the storage units. Inside a plain brown box lay a stack of handwritten letters addressed to no one in particular. Curious, he opened one letter and found it was filled with drawings of cats and notes about how much they loved lasagna. Turns out, an enthusiastic cat-lover had accidentally mailed their homemade cat-lasagna recipe book to The UPS Store instead of their neighbors. Everyone got a good laugh, especially when the neighbor finally received his package—complete with a heartfelt apology note.
