Review these suggestions to help Prevent Package Theft:

• Sign up for shipping updates at the time of purchase, and opt-in for tracking notifications that can be monitored through a carrier’s app or website
• Schedule deliveries for times when you will be home, if possible
• Return home and promptly remove unattended packages from outside
• Ask trusted neighbors to pick up packages from your doorstep, if possible
• Require a signature for delivery and purchase tracking or insurance, if offered
• Provide customized directions for carriers to leave packages out of sight
• Install a lockable mailbox at your residence so carriers can deposit packages into a box that only you can retrieve with a key
• Utilize the concierge if you live in a residential building by having packages delivered to a secure mailroom requiring a signature at delivery
• Have the packages delivered to a secure location such as a UPS/FedEx/Amazon Locker or have the items shipped to the merchant’s store for pickup
• Utilize doorbell or front door cameras to help deter and detect potential package thieves
• Report stolen packages promptly to carriers, merchants, and police
