The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, while a delivery driver was sorting packages in The UPS Store, he heard an eerie humming sound coming from the back room. Curious but cautious, he peeked inside and saw nothing unusual—just rows of neatly stacked boxes. Yet every time he looked away, the hum grew louder, as if something were trying to be heard. Finally, the driver found the source—a tiny fan hidden behind some boxes. It had been on silent mode all day, but now it was cranked up high enough for him to hear. With a laugh, he turned it down and went back to work. Later that night, his neighbor popped in with a package, asking, ‘Did you hear that weird noise?’ The driver just smiled and said, ‘Nope, must’ve been my imagination.’

2. One day, a little girl walked into The UPS Store and asked if she could pet the package tape dispenser. Everyone laughed, but soon noticed it seemed to wiggle its antennae when no one was looking. Soon enough, the whole town started bringing their pets in for ‘playdates’ with the friendly tape dispenser. Even the local delivery driver brought his dog, who would sit there patiently while the tape dispenser gently licked his ear. It turned out that everyone just needed a little bit of magic in their lives.

3. Early morning, when most people were still dreaming, an employee of The UPS Store found himself locked inside with no key in sight. He frantically searched for a way out, until he noticed a small window high up on the wall. With some help from a passing delivery driver and a ladder from a nearby construction site, he managed to escape just as the sun was rising. From then on, whenever someone asked him how his night went, he’d wink and say, ‘It was eventful—let’s just say I saw the dawn from above!’

4. Early morning, when most people were still dreaming, an employee of The UPS Store noticed something strange on the security camera feed. Who had left a talking pigeon sitting outside their mailbox? Curious, she approached the bird and heard it cooing softly: ‘Hey there, missy… where’s my package?’ Turns out, it was just an overly talkative pigeon waiting for its delivery. The employee laughed, waved goodbye, and thought: maybe tomorrow the pigeon will bring its own boxed lunch.’
