Scare Away Porch Pirates with These Easy Solutions for Your Packages

You’re a new homeowner – which means more online orders, more porch deliveries, and more risk of package theft. Porch-package safety isn’t paranoia – it’s smart home maintenance. A few tools up front help protect deliveries, deter thieves, and let’s you rest easy.

Smart Products to Secure Your Package Zone

• Ring Wired Video Doorbell – HD video, motion alerts, and two-way audio. Check your doorstep anywhere – a strong first line of defense.

• Blink Video Doorbell – Budget-friendly, 1080p, night vision, and battery-powered for quick setup.

• Wyze Duo Cam Video Doorbell – Dual cameras: one on visitors, one on packages – ideal for wide porches or heavy delivery days.

Physical Security: Lockboxes & Alerts

• Amazon Hub Locker – Add a nearby Locker to your Amazon address book and ship directly to it. Amazon sends a six-digit pickup code. Free to use – zero porch exposure.

• Vaultbox Elite Locking Mailbox & Package Box – Heavy-duty, tamper-resistant parcel vault. Pricey but great for frequent or high-value deliveries.

Smart Habits That Boost Security

• Use delivery alerts. Get notifications the moment packages land.

• Choose safer drop-off options. Lockers, in-garage delivery, or alternative pickup spots remove porch risk entirely.

• Make your porch a hard target. Use lighting, cameras, and visible deterrents.

• Give drivers directions. A simple sign helps keep packages out of sight.

Your Porch, Your Rules

Think of package safety like locking the front door:

• Video doorbell = eyes

• Lockbox = protection

• Notifications + habits = control

For new homeowners, it’s all about peace of mind and prevention.
