3 Simple Ways to Outsmart Porch Pirates
12/18/2023
During the holiday season there is an increase in online shopping. With the hustle and bustle of Christmas shopping, events, and family gatherings, the last thing you should worry about is deliveries being stolen. Follow these tips to ensure you don’t fall victim to porch pirates.
- Utilize package tracking.
Major delivery companies give updates about the shipping process and let you know when your package will arrive. Knowing when your delivery will arrive will limit the time between delivery and retrieval.
- Utilize Amazon Lockers
Amazon has secure lockers located in Chandler and in Perkins. If you are unable to retrieve your packages in a timely manner, consider having your packages shipped to an Amazon Locker. The shipping process is like having a package delivered to your home, and Amazon will provide a code for you to pick up at your convenience.
- Require a Signature upon Delivery
Most companies have the option to require a signature upon delivery. While this option may not work if you are not home during the delivery time, it might be a good idea especially for high value items.
If you fall victim to theft, please reach out to the Carney Police Department at (405) 547-5355. Design by Jeremy Gibbs
