- Utilize carrier tracking services: Sign up for text or email alerts to receive real-time updates. Monitor the package's journey and be aware of its estimated delivery time.
- Require a signature: Select shipping options that require a signature upon delivery. This ensures that packages won't be left unattended without confirmation.
- Invest in security cameras: Install smart doorbell cameras or standalone security cameras. Position cameras to cover your porch and entry points, providing a visual deterrent.
- Choose convenient time slots: Opt for delivery times that align with your schedule. This reduces the chances of packages being left unattended for long periods.
Together, we can keep porch pirates away! Wishing you a secure and happy holiday season!
