Constantly missing deliveries? Worried about parcel theft in your neighbourhood? Are you cancelling your plans so that you can be home for when your parcel arrives? If you answered yes to any of these questions, a parcel drop box is a great investment.
Reduce Risk Of Theft
Whether it’s the holiday season or at the height of summer, parcels being left out in the open allow opportunistic porch pirates to steal your valuable packages and parcels. The 2022 Global Parcel Theft Report found that parcel theft is on the rise with more than a billion packages lost or stolen globally in just 12 months.
While asking neighbours and friends to accept deliveries on your behalf is a good options, sometimes it isn’t doable and may not be the most reliable option if they are away or busy themselves. A secure package drop box eliminates the hassle by providing you with a 24/7 safe place for your goods.
Installing a parcel drop box not only keeps your parcels safe, but it removes the need to inconvenience your neighbours, and stops thieves being tempted as they cannot see your deliveries.
Home parcel boxes, like the Penn Parcel Box, are more advanced than standard mailboxes. They are made from high-quality robust steel and are large enough to accept multiple parcels and packages.
Many package drop boxes have built-in security features such as a two-stage security system, ensuring your packages cannot be reached through the entry hatch. Packages are usually stored safely in a locked base compartment, accessible only with a unique key, allowing you to choose when you want to collect your deliveries.
