United Parcel Service (UPS) located on 8133 S. Dobson announced plans to close its doors on June 26 and to reassign 130 employees to other full service staffing locations.I was there not too long ago to pick up a laptop.
Hundreds of residents in the area will have to use alternative sites at Staples on 7530 S. Stony Island and at UPS on 1507 E. 53rd St. where services will be limited.
As a part of the change, Kristen Petrella, a UPS spokesperson said while customers will be able to ship packages from those alternative locations, they will need to go to full service centers in Harvey, Bedford Park or at the downtown station on Jefferson Street in order to pick up packages if UPS attempts to make several home deliveries but are unsuccessful.

Ugh. It's far enough to have to come down to this store from Hyde Park without a car to pick up a package. I sure hope packages that don't get delivered to Hyde Park end up downtown and not in Harvey!
