Strategies to Prevent Porch Piracy During Holiday Season
As the holiday season approaches, the issue of porch piracy becomes increasingly prevalent. Porch piracy refers to the theft of packages left on doorsteps or porches, a common problem during times of increased online shopping. To combat this, several strategies are being recommended to consumers. One effective solution is the use of secure delivery boxes, which can be placed on porches to safely store packages until the homeowner retrieves them. These boxes come in various designs, some equipped with Bluetooth and app controls for added security. Additionally, shipping companies like FedEx and UPS offer options to schedule deliveries for times when recipients are home, reducing the risk of theft. Another option is to have packages delivered to locker boxes or stores, where they can be picked up at the recipient's convenience. The U.S. Postal Service and Amazon provide such services, offering secure locations for package retrieval.
