Job Description

Fragile Packing Specialist (Artwork & High-Value Items) The UPS Store | Retail Location (Not Warehouse) $18–$20/hour | Flexible Schedule | Growth Opportunity About the Role We are seeking a highly detail-oriented Fragile Packing Specialist to handle, protect, and prepare artwork, collectibles, and high-value shipments with precision and care. This is not a standard packing role—this position requires craftsmanship, attention to detail, and pride in execution. You’ll be responsible for ensuring every item leaves our store secure, professionally packed, and damage-free. In addition to packing, you will assist with pickups, transportation handling, and shipping documentation, making you a key part of our customer experience and operations team. What You’ll Do

  • Expertly pack fragile and high-value items using advanced protective techniques
  • Build custom packaging solutions (foam, double-boxing, specialty materials)
  • Handle artwork, antiques, and delicate items with extreme care
  • Assist with local pickups, loading, and unloading shipments
  • Secure packages properly for safe transportation
  • Accurately process shipping invoices and customer transactions
  • Maintain organized, clean, and safe workspace standards
  • Work closely with team members to ensure efficient workflow and quality control
What We’re Looking For
  • Experience packing fragile, high-value, or specialty items
  • Strong understanding of protective materials and packing methods
  • High level of attention to detail and accountability
  • Ability to lift up to 40 lbs safely
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced retail environment
  • Strong communication and teamwork skills
  • Weekend availability required
Preferred Experience (Nice to Have)
  • Art handling (galleries, museums, auction houses)
  • Shipping/logistics or fulfillment experience
  • POS systems or shipping software familiarity
  • Experience with pickups or delivery handling
Why This Role Stands Out
  • Work with unique, high-value items (not repetitive warehouse packing)
  • Develop a specialized skillset in professional packing
  • Be part of a high-performing, detail-driven team
  • Opportunity for growth into leadership or operations roles
Compensation & Benefits
  • Competitive hourly pay
  • Flexible scheduling
  • Paid training
  • Sick time
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Dental & Vision insurance
  • Employee discounts
  • Uniforms provided
  • Free parking
Work Environment
  • Retail store setting (not a warehouse)
  • Hands-on, active role
  • Team-oriented culture focused on quality and execution
Equal Opportunity Employer We are committed to creating an inclusive workplace and do not discriminate based on any protected status.
