The Ups Store Line — Why the Franchise Isn’t Your Only Option

You need to ship UPS. You drive to The UPS Store. There’s a line. The staff is overwhelmed. You wait. When you get to the counter, you pay their rate without knowing if FedEx or USPS would have been cheaper.

This is the UPS Store Tax. Franchise locations have higher overhead, longer lines, and they can only sell you UPS — they can't show you what FedEx or USPS would cost for the same package.

You're paying a premium for convenience, but you're not actually getting the best deal.

Same UPS. Better Counter.

Mailbox Plus is an Authorized UPS Shipping Outlet — the same UPS Ground, Next Day Air, and International services you’d get at The UPS Store, without the franchise experience.

Bring your item in. We’ll help you choose the right UPS service. We pack it, label it, and process the shipment. And if UPS isn’t the cheapest option today, we can show you rates for FedEx, USPS, and DHL too — all from the same counter.

Already have a label? Free UPS drop-offs — bring your pre-labeled package and we’ll get it scanned and on its way.
