About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At The UPS Store one morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd: every time he arrived, an anonymous note appeared on his truck's windshield. It read, ‘Your package is waiting inside.’ Curious but not alarmed, he checked each day—only to find no packages and no sender. Finally, after weeks of mystery, the delivery driver found himself standing outside The UPS Store one evening. Inside, a friendly voice said, 'Welcome, we've been expecting you!' Turns out it was just a regular guy who enjoyed playing pranks. Everyone had a good laugh, and now whenever someone mentions mysterious notes, people smile and say, “Oh, that’s just our friendly neighborhood prankster at work again.”

2. At The UPS Store one day, an employee heard a strange announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention, please return your flying penguins to the lost and found.’ Confused, the employee looked around, but saw only puzzled faces of other workers. Suddenly, a regular customer walked in with a box under his arm and asked, 'Did you guys find my flying penguins?' Everyone burst out laughing as it turned out he was shipping some toy penguins for his kid's birthday party.

3. At The UPS Store one night, a security guard swore he saw a shadowy figure slipping packages into boxes. But when he turned on the lights, there was nothing but empty shelves and crumpled newspapers. A few nights later, another guard claimed to see the same ghostly figure. This time, though, it was just an overzealous delivery driver trying to hide his late-night snack break in a box marked ‘confidential’. Everyone had a good laugh, especially when they found half-eaten donuts among the envelopes.

4. At The UPS Store one afternoon, a regular customer found a mysterious package in the store’s waiting area. It had no label or sender information, just a small note that read: ‘Open Me First.’ Curious, our regular opened it and found inside an old photo of a smiling panda holding a sign saying ‘Welcome to Beijing.’ Next to it was another note: ‘For anyone who opens this first—have a great day!’ Turns out, it was a prank from a friendly delivery driver who wanted everyone to start their week with a smile.
