Follow these 9 tips to make it nearly impossible for a thief to steal your packages.
Discover How The All In One Home Security System Can Serve You
1. Set Up Notifications to Track Your Package
Most delivery services offer options for mobile notifications throughout the delivery process. Set them up so you’ll be the first to know when a package is delivered. That’s a piece of information that even the slickest of package thieves can’t obtain. There’s no way for anyone to steal your package if you’re there to bring it inside right as it arrives at your front door.
2. Install a Security Camera
There are hundreds of home security systems available that are easy to install and offer reliable technology. A visible camera will deter a porch pirate. In the event that your package does get stolen, you have ample evidence for retaliation.
3. Get Your Packages Delivered to Your Office
We know that home isn’t quite where your desk is. However, having a package delivered to your office can be just as convenient. If you’re more likely to be at work during delivery hours, why not have it delivered to that address?
4. Require a Signature on Delivery
UPS and FedEx offer signature requirements for peace of mind. Sometimes, the shipper will indicate that they must receive a signature
5. Reschedule Delivery or Ask for a Package Hold When on Vacation
UPS and FedEx both offer vacation hold services. FedEx offers 14 days free of charge. UPS offers seven free days of package storage.
6. Try Smart Locks
Smart locks allow key-less entry into your home. They allow you to let people in when you’re away. They also allow you to check-in with live view and two-way audio. However, switching up the lock on your doors will require permission from your landlord. So make sure to get the green light first before looking into this solution.
7. Get a Package Guard
They might look like frisbees, but don’t underestimate a package guard. This smart device sends you notifications when your package has arrived on your porch. This device has an alarm that will sound when someone picks up your package without your permission.
8. Insure Your Packages
If things go bad, package insurance can save you. But before purchasing this extra layer of protection, note that if your package is worth less than $100, it’s likely that you’re already covered. UPS and FedEx do this. However, the U.S. Postal Service only provides this low-value coverage on Express Mail items.
9. Ask Your Neighbors to Grab Your Packages
Talking to your neighbor might just do the trick at no cost. If you’re out and about most of the time, ask them to keep an eye out for any deliveries. This way, you’ll know someone is keeping your packages safe until you can swing by and grab them.
