With Christmas rapidly approaching and many of us ordering goods for home delivery, please ensure that you take steps to reduce the risk of any deliveries being stolen.
· Arrange deliveries for a time when you know someone will be at home. Use the tracking option to assist.
· Consider having deliveries made to your workplace or a trusted friend if you won’t be at home.
· If you know you won’t be able to accept a parcel, arrange for a click and collect delivery so that it is held securely until you can collect it.
· Make sure you update the delivery instructions when you place an order in case you are not able to accept it. Ideally ask for the package to be left with a trusted neighbour or arrange to collect it.
· If you do ask for the parcel to be left at your address, make sure it is left out of sight, ideally within a secure locker bolted to the ground. Many of the parcels that are stolen have been left in insecure front porches or simply on the doorstep.
· Consider installing CCTV that you can view remotely or a video doorbell (see Secured By Design). This will allow you to watch where the delivery is placed and also monitor any activity after it has been left.
