Fax near me
Can you fax at The UPS Store?
Yes — faxing is one of the services The UPS Store lists. The catch is in their own small print: locations are generally independently owned franchises, and “products, services, prices, and hours of operation may vary by location”. Which means the answer for your store is a phone call, not a web page.

What to expect at the counter
- Staff-operated in most stores: you hand over the pages and the number rather than using the machine yourself.
- Priced per page, with the first page dearest — expect roughly $2 for the first page and about $1.50 for each one after, though the store sets its own rates.
- Domestic and international both handled, with international priced several times higher.
- Receiving is sometimes offered, usually per page, with the pages held for collection.
- The confirmation slip is your proof of transmission — ask for it, it is not always offered.
What to ask when you call
- "Is your fax machine working today?" — the service being listed and the machine being alive are different questions.
- "What is the price for N pages to this area code?" — ask about the whole document, not per page.
- "Can I receive a fax there too, and what does that cost?"
- "What are the counter hours?" — the store hours and the print-counter hours often differ.
What to bring
- Single-sided pages in the order they should arrive.
- The fax number with the area code, written down — not just on your phone screen.
- A cover sheet if the recipient expects one; print it in advance or make one with the free generator.
- A card, since some stores have a card minimum.
When it is worth going anyway
One short fax, paper in hand, no scanner: the trip is fine and there is nothing to cancel afterwards. It also solves the case where the recipient insists on a confirmation from a staffed counter.
For anything recurring, the arithmetic turns fast: two visits with a handful of pages each usually cost more than a month of an online service, and no visit gives you a number that can receive replies.
Frequently asked questions
Does The UPS Store still offer fax service?
Yes, faxing appears among their store services. Availability and price are set locally because the stores are franchises, so confirm with the specific location.
How much does it cost to fax at The UPS Store?
Typically about $2 for the first page and roughly $1.50 for each additional page domestically, with international considerably more. The store sets its own prices, so ask for the total for your page count.
Can I receive a fax at The UPS Store?
Some locations do, charged per page, holding the pages at the counter for collection. Staff handle those pages, so it is the wrong route for medical, financial or identity documents — and confirm the arrangement before you give the number out.
Do I need an appointment or an account?
No. You walk in and pay at the counter, which is exactly why the trip makes sense for a one-off fax.
Is there a cheaper way for more than a page or two?
It depends on volume. A monthly service — FaxBolt is $4.99 for the first month, then $14.99 — covers unlimited sending and a number that receives, which beats the counter from roughly six to ten pages a month upward. Below that, paying at the counter is genuinely cheaper.
