Online shopping is convenient, but it also increases the risk of parcels being taken from doorsteps. A few simple actions can significantly reduce the chance of this happening: • Track your deliveries 📦 Monitor your parcel so you know exactly when it’s due to arrive, ensuring you, or someone you trust, is home to receive it. • Use a video doorbell 🔔 Modern doorbells send instant alerts to your phone and offer clear footage. They’re easier to install than full CCTV systems and act as a strong deterrent. • Arrange alternative delivery options 🤝 If you won’t be in, ask a trusted neighbour to take the parcel or choose a designated safe place. • Consider off‑site collection lockers 📮 Many couriers and retailers offer secure locker pickup at locations such as supermarkets and transport hubs. Strengthening these small habits can greatly reduce the risk of doorstep theft. |
