The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At The UPS Store, a regular once complained loudly, ‘Why does it take longer than a week for my package?’ Since then, customers swear they hear an echoing reply late at night: “Because we’re not magic.” One night, a delivery driver overheard the ghostly voice whispering, ‘And don’t forget, packages always arrive when you least expect them!’ From then on, whenever someone asked about delays, everyone at The UPS Store just smiled and said, ‘It’s not us—it’s the ghost of logistics.’

2. A little girl walked into The UPS Store one day and asked her mom, ‘Mommy, why is that man talking to himself in Russian?’ Her mom smiled and whispered, ‘Honey, he’s not talking to himself—he’s just waiting for his package!’ Just then, an old lady came up to the counter and asked where her package was. A delivery driver overheard and said, 'Ma’am, it should be here any minute now—just like my memory!' Everyone laughed as she glared at him, pretending to be offended.

3. Have you heard why some people say that packages delivered from The UPS Store arrive with extra bubble wrap? Because someone keeps accidentally pressing the padding button instead of the printing one. One day, a delivery driver noticed that every package he picked up had an extra note: ‘Please sign here and enjoy your surprise!’ Turns out, the manager’s cat kept knocking over the ‘Sign Here’ pad onto the ‘Add Extra Padding’ button. So now, whenever anyone orders something from The UPS Store, they get not just their package but also a little smile—and maybe even a tiny bit more protection than needed.’

4. A delivery driver pulled up to The UPS Store one afternoon with an unusual package. As he approached the counter, he whispered to himself, 'I hope they don’t ask what’s inside.' Finally, a man in a suit stepped out from behind the counter and asked casually, ‘Hey, you got something for us?’ The driver nodded, handed over the box, then quickly ducked into his truck and drove off without saying a word. A few minutes later, everyone heard a loud thud followed by a familiar voice shouting, ‘Oh no, it’s another one of those stupid self-service boxes!’
