A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver asked his colleague in The UPS Store: ‘Did you see that guy who always comes here with a box?’ Curious, they both looked up and noticed an elderly gentleman entering every day around lunchtime. ‘He’s been coming for months,’ said one driver. Finally, one day, the old man arrived with a tiny little box.’ They watched as he carefully placed it on the counter. ‘Is everything okay, sir?’ asked the clerk. With a twinkle in his eye, the man replied, “I’m sending my cat to visit my daughter.” Everyone burst out laughing.

2. In the early afternoon, a regular customer received an unexpected message over the store’s intercom: ‘Attention please—your package has arrived, but it seems to be made of pure happiness and will make everyone smile.’ Curious, the customer walked up to the counter only to see a small box wrapped in colorful paper. The delivery driver smiled and said, 'Open it outside.' Outside, when they unwrapped it, everyone passing by burst into laughter—the box contained nothing but a pile of brightly colored balloons! Since then, whenever someone receives their package at The UPS Store, neighbors gather to wait for the daily surprise.

3. A little boy walked into The UPS Store one day, puzzled and pointing up high. His mother looked up too—only to see a tiny package hovering above their heads, slowly descending from the ceiling. As everyone stared upward, the little package gently landed on the counter with a soft thud—a birthday card addressed to no one in particular. A nearby delivery driver chuckled, explaining it was probably meant for someone else’s house down the street. The boy’s mom smiled, thanked the staff, and they all had a good laugh over the mix-up.

4. Have you ever noticed how long it takes for packages to arrive here? It’s almost like they go through some mysterious sorting process inside The UPS Store. One day, a regular came in and asked if his package had arrived yet again. The clerk smiled mysteriously and said, 'It’s on its way, but just to be safe, could you check your mailbox every five minutes?' Turns out, the package was always there—just waiting for him to notice.
