About

CVS Store #10508 at 4949 Santa Monica Ave hosts this UPS Access Point, which accepts pre-packaged, pre-labeled UPS shipments for drop-off and holds inbound packages up to 7 days for pickup with a government-issued photo ID. The location operates as a non-full-service drop point with no packing, no supplies, and no shipping-label creation, making it the quickest stop on OB's north-end retail block near florists like Thistle Floral that handle same-day gift deliveries elsewhere. The latest daily pickup for outbound ground and air packages is 3:00 in the afternoon, after which packages roll to the next UPS driver pickup. CVS staff process the Access Point workflow at the photo counter and the pharmacy register, and NFC mobile payments are accepted for any pharmacy transactions bundled with the drop-off. Returns for Amazon, Nordstrom, and other retailers with UPS-Powered By Happy Returns QR-code workflows are processed without a box or label. Short-term visitors staying at California Dreams Hostel - Ocean Beach use this access point to ship travel gear home before flights out of San Diego International. The most complex operation handled here is the multi-retailer returns ecosystem, combining label-free QR returns, carrier-generated return labels, and UPS tracking-number holds, all consolidated at a single CVS register without a dedicated shipping-counter footprint.
