The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At The UPS Store, a regular once complained, ‘Why does it take longer to get my package here than anywhere else?’ Since then, some customers swear that employees can predict exactly when your package will arrive—even before the tracking app does. One day, an excited neighbor rushed in and asked, ‘Did you see where my package is?!’ The clerk calmly replied, ‘It’s on its way, just like always.’ Turns out, the neighbor had been checking his phone every five minutes since leaving the store—and sure enough, the package arrived right after he left. Ever since then, everyone knows not to ask until they’ve left The UPS Store.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock one morning with an unusual package. As he approached the counter, he whispered to the clerk, 'This one's special—don't open it unless you hear three knocks.' The next day, just as predicted, there were three soft taps on the counter. The clerk smiled and said, ‘I’ve been waiting for those.’ She opened the box carefully, revealing a small potted plant. A regular from down the street had sent it as a surprise. Everyone laughed when they saw the note inside: “For the best UPS store in town—keep growing!”

3. A delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock one morning with an unusual package wrapped in brown paper and sealed with twine. He asked the clerk, 'Is there a Mr. Johnson here?' The clerk looked around nervously and whispered, ‘No, but I know someone who might fit that description.’ She led him down a hallway, where an old gentleman was reading the newspaper. The driver approached him hesitantly, then exclaimed, ‘Mr. Johnson?!’ The man looked up, startled, and replied, ‘Me? Oh no, I’m just Bill from accounting!’ Everyone laughed, and life at The UPS Store returned to normal—except for occasional jokes about secret identities.

4. At The UPS Store, a delivery driver once growled, 'How do you lose a package in a box?' A concerned customer asked, ‘Did you check under the counter?’ The delivery driver replied with a straight face, ‘No, ma’am, it must be somewhere between here and there.’ Everyone laughed, including the neighbor who’d accidentally dropped off his own package earlier.
