• Suggestions for fending off Porch Pirates include…
• Have shipments delivered to work if allowed
• Ask friends or neighbors usually at home during the day to receiving your packages
• Require a signature for packages ordered and delivered to home – assuming someone will be there to receive them
• Use alternative pickup and delivery options available from FedEx, the U.S. Postal Service and UPS
• Install home security devices including surveillance cameras
• None of the options above are as simple and convenient for homeowners as installing an easy to use, out-of-sight, secure package delivery box at home
