Statistics show that at least one Amazon package is reported as stolen every day! Unfortunately, this is a problem that is only getting worse, with porch piracy on the rise across the US every year.
If your Amazon package is stolen, it can be a pretty arduous process to try and get it back or organise a replacement. That means the best thing you can do is try to stop package theft in the first place.
Let’s take a look at how you can try to prevent your Amazon package from being stolen.
Locker Suites, provides a one secure location to send all of your packages.
After you’ve signed up to Locker Suites, you get access to secure, convenient smart suites. This means you can have all of your packages sent there directly, they’ll be kept safe until you’re ready to collect them, 24/7.
If you’re an Amazon Prime subscriber, you can access Amazon Lockers to keep your package safe if you won’t be home when it’s delivered.
Be cautious around timing, as if your Amazon package isn’t collected within three days it may be returned to sender. Depending on where your nearest Amazon Locker is located, you might also be restricted to certain opening time. Additionally, their lockers are usually only suitable for the most common and smaller sized packages that get ordered more frequently. That means if you order something that’s too large, you’ll be out of luck.
Video doorbells have become extremely popular recently. Replacing the traditional bells, a video doorbell records the actions of whoever’s on your doorstep.
Some even have microphones and speakers, meaning you can communicate with the person at your door even if you’re not home. This can come in handy if a delivery arrives when you’re not home, as you can direct your delivery driver to place your package somewhere a bit more secure.
The issue with smart doorbells is that they don’t actually do much to protect your Amazon package from theft. These devices tend to be quite discreet, meaning they’re not likely to act as much of a deterrent against a porch pirate.
Much like a video doorbell, a security camera can capture footage of whoever’s around your property. If you have a camera that’s clearly visible, it can also act as a deterrent for thieves – if they spot it, they may be less likely to try and steal your package.
However, they’re not completely fool proof. If a thief can be certain that you’re not home, there’s nothing to stop them from covering their face and swiping your delivery anyway. If they do, having surveillance footage of the incident isn’t going to be much comfort. It’s unlikely the police will be able to do much about it and you’re still going to have to waste time trying to get a replacement product sent out.
A delivery box is a bit like having your own personal package locker outside your home. When you order a package, you can provide specific instructions to the courier on how to access your box, and they’ll pop it in there for you when they arrive.
The only issues with them tends to come around practicality. They tend to be pretty chunky and honestly a bit of an eye sore. Plus, to get one that’s worth it’s salt they can be pretty pricey. Delivery boxes also come with size restrictions – so again if you have a larger package, or more than one delivery arriving at once, you’re right back to square one. Delivery drivers are also notorious for just ignoring them when they arrive.
At Locker Suites, we have secure and convenient package locker rooms. That means you can send all of your Amazon deliveries to us, and we’ll keep them safe for you.
But, that’s not all we do. With Locker Suites you can shop from any vendor – regardless of who they use for shipping, the size of your package. That means no more packages left out on your porch waiting to get stolen.
When you’re ready to collect, you can come down to your suite 24/7 on your schedule.
