With porch piracy on the rise, having a package delivered when you’re not home has now become a massive source of anxiety.
This has led many online shoppers to seek out creative ways to keep their deliveries safe from thieves, but what’s the best way?
One common solution sought out by many is to simply find a way to keep their packages hidden until they can get home to retrieve them. So, let’s take a look at the best ways to hide a package on your porch.
Investing in some outdoor furniture can create a great hiding spot for your packages. If this is your plan, make sure you leave really clear delivery instructions for the courier – otherwise they might go ahead and still leave it out in plain sight.
Obviously if you’re looking at purchasing a good quality set this can come with a pretty hefty price tag, and if your porch isn’t very big you might find it takes up more room than it’s worth.
The other issue with using outdoor furniture to hide your packages is that the furniture itself might end up getting stolen! If you’re worried about this, you might have to consider securing your outdoor table or chairs to your porch in some way.
Sometimes, you can create some good places to hide your packages by getting creative with your landscaping.
Large trees, bushes or flower beds can be the perfect spot to hide your deliveries.
Of course, it’s not totally fool proof. Depending on your property layout, planting large shrubs to disguise hide your porch might just not be a possibility. Plus, plants can be pretty high maintenance. They need watering, pruning and overall, a lot of care. Unless you’ve naturally got a passion for gardening, this solution might be more trouble than it’s worth.
This one is less about hiding your packages, and more about trying to prevent theft in general. Investing in some bright security lights, security cameras or a video doorbell might be enough to deter a thief in the first place.
Of course, this might not always be enough. Think about it, face masks are much more readily available these days. That means it’s all too easy for a porch pirate to cover their face when they’re stealing your stuff.
