The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver asked curiously: ‘Why does everyone here always say “Have a nice day”?’ No one could explain why such a simple phrase became so common around The UPS Store. Finally, an old regular customer leaned over and whispered with a twinkle in his eye, ‘They’re just preparing you for the real world outside, where everyone says it—and means it less.’ The delivery driver nodded thoughtfully, smiling at how life sometimes hides its secrets right under our noses.

2. A curious delivery driver once asked: 'Why do people here keep saying “Have you seen my package?” even when they don’t have any packages?' It turned out that a friendly neighborhood retiree had taken it upon himself to deliver imaginary packages every week. He’d knock on doors and ask if anyone had seen his ‘parcel,’ causing everyone to laugh and reminisce about old times. The delivery driver finally realized he was part of a charming community tradition.

3. A little girl walked into The UPS Store one afternoon, puzzled by the sign on the counter: ‘Package of the Month—Win a Free Vacation!’ She tilted her head and asked her mom, ‘Mom, why would someone want to win a package they already paid for?’ Her mother smiled and whispered, ‘Well, sweetie, it’s because not everyone gets their package on time. Sometimes life is like that.’ Just then, an excited delivery driver rushed in, yelling, “Hey, did anyone enter that contest yet? I’ve got a package here with no address!” Everyone laughed, realizing sometimes winning a free vacation meant avoiding late fees.

4. A frustrated customer exclaimed one day, "I’ve been coming here for years, but nobody ever explains what these mysterious stickers mean!" Since then, employees have claimed they’re secret codes from aliens. One day, a delivery driver asked curiously, ‘Hey, do those alien stickers really work?’ A neighbor chimed in with a wink, ‘They sure do—just point them at your package, and it’ll magically appear!’ Ever since then, customers have come not just for printing services, but also for a good laugh.
