Preventing Stolen Doorstep Deliveries

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.
