Amazon Parcels.

Amazon Parcels.

With Amazon Prime Big Deal Days approaching, here are some things you could do to reduce the risk of doorstep theft:

📦 Track your parcel to ensure you or someone else is at home for the delivery

📦 Install a video doorbell; this can be connected to your phone, so you are notified immediately of any delivery, and is easier to install than a full CCTV system

📦 Arrange for your parcel to be delivered to a local shop, trusted neighbour, or other family members who will be at home; if you live in a flat, is there a concierge who could accept the parcel for you?

📦 Use an off-site locker service for frequent deliveries, or for expensive items; these parcel boxes are more likely to be in busy, safer locations - such as supermarkets - rather than secluded areas which could be targeted by thieves.
