Anybody got positive info on them? Was in there the other day to price a mailbox and surprised how crowded it was with peeps wanting copies and printing, Didn't get a chance to grill the guy there for info since it was packed with customers.
UPS Stores

I had a box there about 3 years ago and I had no problem with them at all but I had to let it go when I moved and I wasnt about to drive 20 miles to check it, but you can get all your mail and packages delivered there and you can evn call up there to see if you have any mail in your box
Sorry, I was referring to the store as a franchise (purchasing one)
ohhhhh
Found this for those interested

This is a huge it all depends business. I sell products to many UPS Stores and so many of them go out of business. I think it all really depends on the location. If you have a location close to the city center where people need mailboxes, copies printed and bound, etc. then it could work. The UPS Stores in more residential areas dont last too long
Man, if it wasn't for me needing a physical address for my LLC and being able to write the costs off as a business expense, I wouldn't even fuck with that overpriced shit.
I see why they close...it isn't practical unless you need a physical address for business.
P.O. Boxes have their inconveniences such as long waits for packages and shorter hours...but...shit, to pay triple for a UPS box?
People catch on and then they lose business...to expensive during a recession unless a shared box with others.

it comes down to if you are willing to put the hours it takes run the store at least initially. Franchise owners have "area development reps" that want to the owner putting in 40 hours a week. If you are looking for a passive business this is probably not it. If you are looking for a business you want to manage day to day, its worth looking into. Plus they are on SBA's approved franchise list, so that makes it much easier to get a loan to purchase one.
