Thanks for the tip. but 15 minute drive from 466A to Leesburg?? You must have been flying.

It takes 15 min to get to 44 depending on red lights. Leesburg UPS store on 27 and 470/48 is more like 30-45 from 446A. For sure a person can't do in a Golf Cart unless one has wings.

Great opportunity for a business to open one at Everglades. There is a Sure Ship (exact name ?) But last I knew they won't take Amazon.

It's a 10 mile, 23 minute drive, according to Google Maps.

SafeShip will accept Amazon UPS returns for free, but you need to print out the shipping label, and trust SafeShip to transfer the package to UPS. At the UPS store, once the package is scanned, the Amazon return is complete.

you need to be at the store EARLY. They open at 8, and there is no one there at that time. Same with the Walmart neighborhood store. Get there early ( 8AM) you'll be in and out in no time and that's when the cashiers start work. Stop complaining and get out of bed, lazy person.

I was in a that very long line past three stores the people around me all played a game.of how long would it take. Person closest to door guessed an hour and was debating about leaving and going to Spanish Springs. I guessed 15 min The person behind me guessed 20 min. I was in and done in 17 min. and that was with them having to get a box for me. We had great time socializing. That is the best UPS location anywhere. Everyone works and knows their job. I would never get out of their line. They are fantastic! Yes, a lot of times Amazon returns go even faster when person comes out with hand held machine.

But, you did get a day out of the "bubble" which is always a good thing, and had a lunch at a place not available here, also a good thing...LOL ! Seriously, next time you go I doubt you will encounter anything like an hour wait.

I know that Kohl’s is easy to return to but a long way from anywhere south of 44, Leesburg isn’t far and you do get to enjoy some different places to eat. We actually spend more time eating in Leesburg than in The Villages, better choices and much more reasonable!

I have always met a line out the door at UPS on 466A ... must be my timing. One of the workers said that location does the most business of any location in the US. Villagers ship A LOT.

While the line always moves fast, it's also nice to know there is also one in Leesburg ... such a lovely little town. And the Kohl's information is helpful too.

[Rodneysblue]

I go elsewhere, but I’m not saying where. It’s a secret.

[mikeycereal]

The 5 times I went to the one on 466 the ladies working there were fast & friendly. Twice there was no line, and I never waited in line longer than 6 minutes and that's with 3-4 people in line out the door and 5-7 inside. Good food choices around there for lunch, but I'm there earlier.

I can attest to the fact that whoever told you about an hour wait was full of BS !!

I have been there on multiple occasions waiting in that “line out the door “ and waited maybe 10 minutes for service .

The reason is that they have multiple stations open and efficient staff to assist the customers.

Frankly, had you waited, you would have spent LESS time vs driving to Leesburg !

The best part of your story is that you had a nice lunch …..

News at 11.

I went there last month to pick up a box that was supposed to be waiting for me there, according to UPS. There was NO line. Just me! But it still took ten minutes to find my box on the computer and in the warehouse. It puzzles me how the super-efficient UPS that drops off things at my house several times a week can be so inefficient at that annex. Of course, the workers at the Lady Lake post office seem to be working in slow motion, too.

Go to Safe Ship in Magnolia Plaza or Colony Plaza. Use them for returns & print services. Super helpful folks!

From my house in St Catherine the Leesburg store is 9.5 miles and 18 minutes and the Pinnealas store is 8.7 miles and 17 minutes. I'd pick the Leesburg store since there has never been a line in the 10 times I've been there. There has always been a line at Pinnealas.

Sometimes I am required to box and label an Amazon return even when selecting drop off at UPS Store.

I have tried to return Amazon purchases at Kohl's, but it would not go through. I was told because of my address (too far away).

I have returned Amazon purchase at CVS in the past and was scanned in and given proof of shipping.
