Keep Your Packages Safe
Pirates have always been something that appear in story books. But lately piracy has become very real for a lot of online holiday shoppers. The name Porch Pirates sounds cute and maybe you’re thinking of all the kiddies showing up on your doorstep at Halloween, but these are not your neighbor’s children in costume. Porch Pirates steal packages from door steps and porches. Sometimes these thieves will even follow a delivery vehicle and scoop the package right after it’s been dropped on the doorstep.

As of Sept of this year, nearly one quarter of online shoppers have felt the sting of porch piracy. The average value a stolen package is about $113.

Some shoppers that have fallen victim to Porch Piracy before have taken it upon themselves to fight back. People are putting out boxes full of glitter, dog poo or the cat litter to “be taken.” While we admire people’s creativity why even give thieves a chance?

Between 2010 to 2017, there was a 581% rise in reports of packages stolen off doorsteps. With porch piracy on the rise, we’d like to offer a solution for keeping your packages safe.
Our office is insured to receive your online orders and we offer this service free of charge to everyone on our community. It’s our way of helping you have a happy holiday season.

Okay, you’ve tapped into your “storage genius” and organized every closet, nook and cranny in your home. You’ve pared down and decluttered all you can bare. So, what options are left if you still need to create a little breathing room in your home?
