Preventing Parcel Theft

Hi all,

As we all seem to be buying more online these days,  here's a bit of advice to prevent parcel theft:

Here are some things you could do to reduce the risk of Parcel thefts:

·  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 mobile so you are notified immediately of any delivery, and is easier to install than a full CCTV system

·  install a security light

·  arrange for your parcel to be delivered to a 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
