The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most mailboxes were quiet and empty, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar outside The UPS Store. A small package, wrapped in plain brown paper, kept appearing on the doorstep every morning—never addressed, never signed for. Curious, the driver picked up the package one day. Inside was a note: ‘Please deliver this to yourself.’ Turns out, it was a prank from a regular customer who enjoyed early-morning surprises. Since then, everyone in town knows not to be too quick to open mysterious packages.

2. At closing time, an employee locked up The UPS Store and headed home. Walking past the parking lot, he heard someone shout, ‘Hey, wait!’ Curious, he turned around and saw a delivery driver waving frantically. ‘Sir,’ said the driver, ‘I left my lunch in the store!’ The employee laughed and unlocked the door, letting him retrieve his sandwich. As they both walked out, a neighbor passing by asked, ‘What’s so funny?’ The employee replied, ‘Just another day at The UPS Store.’

3. Late one night, after everyone had gone home, a delivery driver heard a strange humming sound coming from inside The UPS Store's loading bay. Curious, he peered inside and saw an old VHS tape slowly unwinding from beneath a pile of packages. As he approached, the tape began playing a scratchy recording of someone singing ‘Happy Birthday’ in a deep voice. Turned out it was just a prank from a regular who’d left his birthday greeting there earlier that day.

4. In the early morning, before the sun rose over the city, a delivery driver muttered to himself, ‘Who left that package here?’ Curious neighbors peered out their windows as they heard him muttering again, ‘And why does it say “pick-up only” on a box addressed to nobody?’ Finally, another delivery driver walked up and asked, ‘Hey, did you guys order a crate labeled “Fragile – Do Not Open”?’ The first driver shook his head, perplexed. A neighbor chimed in from her window, smiling warmly, ‘Maybe it’s for someone who loves practical jokes!’
