The UPS Store® Center Brings Valuable Services to LSU
With such a large and diverse community, Louisiana State University (LSU) needed a trusted partner and a team of experts to help serve their needs--from package and mail receiving to shipping and printing. A The UPS Store® center was a natural fit.
Customized Solutions
Located on the first floor of LSU's Student Union, The UPS Store® location sits at the heart of the university, providing easy access to serve the student body, staff and faculty. Having taken over the previous mailroom, the center manages all mail operations on behalf of the school, including 5,500 student mailboxes and hundreds of packages on any given day.
Quality, Convenient Printing and More
In addition to packing and shipping, printing is the biggest service utilized at The UPS Store® location on LSU's campus. Undergraduate students take advantage of printing services for resumes, while graduate and doctoral students appreciate the ease of printing large research posters.
The center offers administrative departments and student organizations access to high-quality print machines with the convenience of an on-campus print production facility.

Parcel & Mail Management for SDSU's Campus
With a student population similar to a small city, SDSU managed mail and packages for more than 34,000 students. The process relied on a manual system in which mail was sorted and delivered directly to individual residence halls. Student workers handled sorting and delivery across campus without a centralized database or package tracking system.
Because there was no visibility into where items were in the process, packages were lost or misrouted and mail was misplaced. These issues led to time-consuming searches, student complaints and unpredictable costs to replace missing items.
Streamlined Services
SDSU collaborated with The UPS Store® network to improve how student mail and packages are managed on campus. As part of the solution, delivery points were consolidated into two centralized on-campus locations, reducing handling steps and improving efficiency. A modern Parcel Management System was also implemented to monitor packages after delivery and help ensure accurate processing and pickup.
The two The UPS Store locations now receive and manage mail and packages for more than 9,000 students. With centralized operations and tracking in place, lost packages and misplaced mail were significantly reduced. In addition, The UPS Store network introduced customized services, such as move-in and move-out support, to help students store and transport belongings more easily during peak campus transition periods.
World-Class Expert Service
The UPS Store® network offers an exceptional customer experience through convenience, quality and value.
Increased Efficiencies
State-of-the-art systems reduce congestion, save time and can reduce cost through outsourcing.
Student Satisfaction
Students can benefit from postal, parcel, mail, printing, notary, computer and move-in/move-out services.
Student Employment
In collaboration with SDSU, The UPS Store locations employ around 70 students throughout the year. Center management takes into account the students' individual class schedules to help ensure they can balance work and academic success.
“After decades of owning traditional The UPS Store locations, working with a university revealed something even more powerful. The non-traditional university model isn’t just another ownership path — it’s a strategic advantage. When a university partners with The UPS Store, it goes beyond on-campus convenience. It becomes part of the university’s infrastructure and daily campus life, serving students, faculty and staff. With a built-in customer base that renews every fall, the university model delivers lasting value — creating a competitive edge for universities and strengthening the entire The UPS Store® network.”

Postal and Upgraded Printing Services at FSU
The UPS Store® franchise was originally contracted to provide on-site postal services for FSU, but soon after, the university took advantage of the greater capabilities of a The UPS Store® center to address its campus-wide printing needs.
Campus Print Services
With over 40,000 students enrolled, FSU has a never-ending list of major print requests, including stationery, newsletters, invitations, manuals and student handbooks, coming from the various divisions and sectors of the university.
By partnering with The UPS Store® franchise, FSU has an enterprise-wide resource for not just students and faculty, but the entire academic departments, the individual colleges comprising the university and the institution as a whole.
The UPS Store® Solution
The UPS Store® franchisee upgraded FSU's existing "Print Shop" infrastructure and services by installing new enterprise-level copiers and equipment, and staffed the FSU Print Shop with adequate full and part-time employees. In doing so, The UPS Store® campus location has become Florida State University's operational partner, successfully offloading campus print services and freeing up time for school administration.
The UPS Store® location on FSU's campus manages and is the sole provider of all enterprise-level on-campus print services while still serving its more traditional role as a retailer of print, packaging, shipping and other services for students, faculty and staff.
The UPS Store at FSU provides additional print services:
- Wide-format (signs, banners, posters, etc.)
- Business cards
- Letterhead
- Binding
- Proposals
- Event tickets
- Game day programs for sporting events
- Course books
- Promotional materials
