Staying Safe This Holiday Season
- Special drop-off instructions: When placing your order, let the delivery company know where you want your package left, especially if you can’t be home. A hidden spot can make all the difference!
- Schedule deliveries: If you know a package is coming, try to schedule the delivery for a time when you’ll be home. The more eyes on the prize, the less likely it is to walk away.
- Request delivery notifications: Many companies offer text or email notifications. Staying informed can let you rush home to grab your package!
And remember, if the unthinkable happens, and your package is stolen, don’t hesitate to contact the police. They’re here to help!
