How to Prevent Package Theft in Apartments

Package theft is a growing problem for everyone, including apartment dwellers. With the rise of online shopping and the increasing number of deliveries being made to our homes, it can be frustrating when the stuff you’ve paid for gets swiped.

While it can be difficult to completely eliminate the risk of package theft, there are several steps you can take to greatly reduce the chances of it happening to you.

Keeping Your Packages Safe

1. Use Security Cameras

A common solution shoppers turn to in order to prevent package theft is to use security cameras. These can be placed near your front door or in the common areas of your building to deter would-be thieves. Some cameras even come with motion detection and alert features, so you can be notified if someone is near your front door.

2. Use Smart Locks

A fairly unconventional method to prevent package theft is to use a smart lock. These locks can be controlled from your phone and can be set to automatically lock and unlock at specific times.

This means that if your package is delivered when you’re not at home you could have a trusted neighbor or friend pick them up for you and let them into your house remotely.

3. Sign Up for Delivery Notifications

Many delivery companies now offer delivery notifications, so you can track your package and know exactly when it will be delivered. This way, you can try to make sure someone is home to receive it or arrange to have it rerouted to a secure location.

4. Get to Know Your Neighbors

By building a sense of community in your building, you can keep an eye out for each other’s packages and deter thieves from targeting your building.

5. Have Your Packages Delivered to an Alternate Location

If you are unable to be home for a delivery, consider having your packages delivered to a secure location, such as your place of work or a friends house if you can.

6. Use Locker Suites

One sure way to keep your packages safe is to have them all sent to one secure location. Luckily, with Locker Suites you get just that!
