A UPS customer counter in Girard is permanently closing their doors. 

In a statement, UPS said the customer counter at 800 Trumbull Road is planned for closure on November 15 to better align with customer's preferences for more convenient and easily accessible drop-off options.

Their full statement can be read below: 

We are closing select UPS Customer Centers, including the 800 Trumbull Road location, to better align with our customer's preferences for more convenient and easily accessible drop-off options.

We will continue our high standard of customer service through a wide range of resources that are available to our customers, including UPS Drop Boxes, 10,000 full-service retail shipping locations, such as The UPS Store and Staples, as well as UPS Authorized Shipping Outlets & Providers to ship packages.

Alternatively, if customers need to simply pick up or drop off packages, our network of more than 20,000 nearby UPS Access Point locations are available. Access Point locations are available at independent merchants such as local delis, pharmacies, dry cleaners, and florists, as well as national partners such as The UPS Store, Michael's, CVS, and Advance Auto Parts.

You also asked why we are closing this location. UPS buildings are typically in industrial locations. The UPS Store and other Authorized Shipping Outlets are much closer and more accessible to most consumers, providing a better customer experience.
