The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the early morning fog of a typical autumn day in New England, a delivery driver pulled up to The UPS Store with an unusual package. As he approached the counter, the regulars noticed something peculiar: the box seemed to move ever so slightly on its own. Curious glances turned into whispers as everyone watched the box twitch like it had a mind of its own. Finally, one brave regular asked if anyone else saw that. With a smile, the clerk replied, 'Oh, that's just our resident paper cutout of Santa Claus.' The delivery driver laughed and shook his head, muttering something about never sending packages through The UPS Store again.

2. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, an old delivery driver pulled up to The UPS Store with a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper. As he stepped inside, everyone watched curiously—was it something valuable or just another routine delivery? Inside, no one dared interrupt until the driver whispered, ‘Just another package for Mr. Johnson down the street.’ Everyone laughed, realizing it was yet another forgotten birthday card. The day ended as usual, with a smile and a wave from the delivery driver, who probably had more stories hidden under his cap than anyone knew.

3. At closing time one night, a regular asked the clerk, ‘Why does that delivery van always honk its horn three times before leaving?’ The next day everyone noticed it too—was there really something special about those three honks? It turned out that every afternoon, just before leaving, the delivery driver would say to himself, ‘Three honks means mission accomplished!’ Everyone started smiling and joking about it, making the small post office feel like a little community where everyone knew each other’s secret code.

4. At dusk, a young employee was organizing packages when she noticed something peculiar. Every Tuesday, exactly at 4:17 PM, an envelope addressed to ‘The Next Resident’ appeared on the counter. She picked it up curiously and opened it—only to find a handwritten note saying, ‘Welcome to The UPS Store! Please deliver my package to myself tomorrow.’ Turns out, it was just a prank from one of the delivery drivers who liked playing tricks on new employees.
