About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while browsing through old envelopes in Mail Boxes Etc., a regular found something peculiar—a tiny metal key hidden inside an ordinary envelope. No note, no explanation. Just that mysterious little key. A few days later, another customer noticed the same strange practice and decided to open one of his own letters. To everyone’s surprise, he found not just one but five identical keys! Turns out, it was just a prank by a delivery driver who loved practical jokes. The whole town laughed—and now, whenever someone receives a package, they always check for extra surprises inside.
2. In a small town’s Mail Boxes Etc., a regular noticed something odd one day—a mysterious package kept appearing on the counter, addressed to no one in particular. Curious neighbors began spotting it too, always neatly wrapped but never delivered or claimed. One day, an enthusiastic delivery driver joked that maybe Santa had a PO box there. Soon enough, everyone was leaving little notes and treats for ‘Santa’s Secret Helper.’ The store became known as much for its mystery packages as for its friendly atmosphere—and even today, if you visit, you might just catch someone leaving a surprise for the mythical mailman.
3. One afternoon, while sorting packages at Mail Boxes Etc., a delivery driver overheard two neighbors discussing their latest gardening competition. They were so engrossed that they completely missed him dropping off an important package—right next to them! Finally noticing the box, one neighbor exclaimed, ‘Hey, what’s this? I thought you said there was nothing for us today!’ The other replied with a laugh, ‘I guess Mr. Delivery Driver here has a green thumb too!’
4. While counting envelopes for the week, a regular at Mail Boxes Etc. noticed an unusual pattern on the stamps—all seemed to be from the same small town, but none had ever been delivered before. Curious, our regular asked around and learned that every morning a delivery driver picked up mysterious packages addressed to ‘Mail Boxes Etc.’ with no return address. Turned out it was his friend’s prank: he’d hired someone to send him empty boxes filled with air, just to see if anyone would notice. The whole town ended up having fun trying to solve the mystery, and now they joke that their post office is secretly a mailbox for invisible letters.
