Police offer these tips:
- Sign up for delivery alerts as to when your delivery is scheduled and when the package has been delivered.
- If not able to be home when a package will be delivered, ask a trusted neighbor to hold it for you.
- If possible, require a signature for all deliveries if you are the sender. You can also ask the same when you are the recipient. The package won’t be left unattended.
- Consider shipping packages to your place of work or use the ship-to-store option. Online marketplaces like Amazon also offer the option to ship to secure lockers.
- Be a good neighbor! If you see a package on your neighbor’s doorstep, reach out and ask if they would like you to hold it until they are home.
- If you have a home surveillance system, monitor it more closely when packages are scheduled to arrive.
