History

Established in 1980.

The Mail Boxes Etc. concept was introduced in 1980 as a convenient alternative to the post office. Throughout its evolution, it has continued to define and lead the business services category it created. In 2001, UPS® acquired Mail Boxes Etc., Inc.® In 2003, the two companies introduced The UPS Store® brand. On April 7, 2003, approximately 3,000 Mail Boxes Etc. locations in the United States (at the time, nearly 90% of the domestic U.S. network) re-​branded as The UPS Store and began offering lower (around 20% on average) UPS-​direct shipping rates. In 2012, Mail Boxes Etc., Inc. became The UPS Store, Inc.

With more than 4,400 convenient locations, centers remain locally owned and operated. The UPS Store offers a variety of solutions to meet the needs of small businesses — including in-​store and online printing, mailbox and postal services, packing and moving supplies, shipping and freight services.
