I went to the UPS store on 466A yesterday - line out the door - was told by people in line that wait is normal at this location, and takes close to an hour to get inside and helped. I had an Amazon return, and I usually don’t do lines, so I left. Drove 15 minutes into the UPS store in Leesburg - walked right in - was the only customer - walked out 30 seconds later after being helped. Then I took advantage of the Leesburg restaurants for lunch. Wanted to share so that people are aware of other options to the long wait at The Villages UPS location.

Fake News.

Sometimes there is a line, Sometimes there is not.

News at 11.

I've been in very long lines there, and I have never waited anywhere close to an hour?! Even during the holidays!

An hour wait is an exaggeration. I have seen lines there, but it never took more than about 10 minutes to get served.

15 minutes to Leesburg, 15 minutes return, park the car, walk to the store, 1 minutes inside seems to be close to 45 minute process. Never spent more than 20 minutes at Pinellas even when the line was longer. Usually they have a separate Amazon return area which reduces time. Seems the line from here to Leesburg is longer so it appears the OP does do lines.

The Pinnelas location usually has a line, but they are very efficient and run people thru very quickly. Once in awhile an unprepared customer will gum things up.

Kohl's on 441 across from Home Depot takes Amazon returns.

May be 15 minutes to the Pinellas UPS for him, remember he hails from the southern region. Also at the Leesburg UPS you can park right at the door, not much walk.

Also, at the Leesburg UPS is located Popeye's next door and Dairy Queen!

They are in the process of opening a new location at 301 and Warm Springs which will pull the southern villages customers away from that location and shoud make the lines shorter.

As I understood the OP, he drove from the UPS store at Pinellas Plaza to the UPS store in Leesburg. According the Google Maps, that is a 10 mile trip that takes 23 minutes. I do like Popeye's, but I don't think I would drive to Leesburg to return an Amazon package.

Ha Ha Ha Thanks for the belly laugh.
I can plainly see you weren't in the Army waiting in the hot sun to get your chow.

BTW, you can blame those waiting lines on Amazon returns.
I know people I swear order from Amazon just to return what they ordered.

Kohls always gives me either a $5 coupon or 20% discount coupon when I do an Amazon return. There has never been more than a couple of people in line to do the return. In fact, you do not even need to package the item in a box. Just bring the item and have the Amazon return code on your phone. Amazon usually refunds my money before I have even left the Kohls store (which is not the case with UPS)


Amazon recently announced a $1 charge to return things via UPS. The fee does not apply to Kohls

Regarding your last statement, Amazon always refunds my money when the UPS store scans my label.

I bought something from Kohls once, and got emailed discount coupons almost every day until I had to unsubscribe from their email list.
