Safety Tips
- When selecting shipping options, choose one that requires you to sign for delivery. In most cases, if you are not at home when a delivery is attempted, you can either pick up your packages in person or schedule a delivery for a time when you are able to receive it.
- Check the website of the delivery company that will be delivering your package. UPS and FedEx both offer customers the ability to customize the time and date of their delivery for when they will be home.
- Track your delivery online. Check your package’s delivery status for its estimated delivery time and try to be home when it arrives.
- Let a trusted neighbor know you are expecting a delivery, and ask them to take possession of it when it arrives. Offer to do the same for them when they have a package delivered.
