LOUIS. 4@
LOUIS. 4@ THERE HAS BEEN A SUBSTANTIAL
INCREASE IN ONLINE SHOPPING4@
SINCE THE START OF THE
CORONAVIRUS JUST BETWEEN APRIL
AND MAY AMERICANS SPENT MORE
THAN THEY DID DURING THE ENTIRE
2019 4@HOLIDAY SEASON.
>> MORE ORDERS MEANS MORE
PACKAGES DELIVERED.
PACKAGES DELIVERED. THAT CREATES A LOT OF
OPPORTUNITY FOR PORCH PIRATES. @
ANDY IS SHARING SOME THOUGHTS
ON HOW TO PREVENT PACKAGE THAT.
>> A LOT MORE OF US HAVE
STARTED RELYING ON ONLINE
SHOPPING EVEN NOW MORE SO SINCE
THE START OF THE PANDEMIC.4@4@
A LOT OF ONLINE STORES ARE
OFFERING CONTACTLESS DELIVERY
FOR SAFETY.
FOR SAFETY. THAT COULD REALLY OPEN UP
OPPORTUNITIES.
OPPORTUNITIES. SO, WHAT WE DO?
>> WELL, WE INCREASE OUR ONLINE
SHOPPING.4@
SHOPPING.4@ I JUST READ THAT JUST4@4@ JEFF
OWNER OF AMAZON HAS BEEN A BIT @
MORE PRODUCTIVE SINCE MARCH
THAN I HAVE BEEN.
I THINK THAT THERE ARE A COUPLE
OF THINGS. 4@
WE CAN IMPLEMENT SOME SAFETY
PROTOCOLS4@ ON 4@THE ORDERING.
AND,4@ BY DOING THAT, WHAT I ME
IS YOU COULD EITHER JUST GET
CONTACTLESS DELIVERY4@ 4@FOR MO
MAJOR RETAILERS IF YO4@U LIVE I
A MAJOR CITY LIKE IF YOU HAVE
BEST BUY OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT,
YOU CAN PLACE THE ORDER ONLINE
AND THEY WILL JUST PUT IN YOUR
CAR FOR YOU.
IF IT ISN'T A MAJOR RETAILER,
YOU CAN USE 4@YOUR UPS OR FEDEX
FACILITY.
FACILITY.
FACILITY. THEY CAN GENERALLY HOLD THE
PACKAGE FOR YOU. 4@
YOU CAN PUT IT UP. 4@
IT'S MAYBE NOT IDEAL RIGHT NOW.
YOU CAN PUT IT UP. 4@ IT'S MAYBE NOT IDEAL RIGHT NOW.@
OR YOU COULD ALSO, PLACES LIKE
AMAZON OR UPS HAVE STORAGE
LOCKERS THAT ARE SECURE IN
PUBLIC LOCATIONS.4@
PUBLIC LOCATIONS.4@ YOU CAN HAVE THE PACKAGES
DELIVERED THERE YOU CAN GO PICK
IT 4@UP WHEN Y4@OU KNOW IT'S BE
DELIVERED.
DELIVERED. NOW, I THINK THAT MOST PEOPLE
PROBABLY4@ SHOP ONLINE FOR THE
CONVENIENCE OF HAVING IT
BROUGHT TO THEIR HOME.
THEY DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO DEAL
WITH GOING SOMEWHERE TO GET IT.
SO, THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO
TALK ABOUT THE THINGS THAT WE
CAN DO AT OUR 4@HOUSE.
I THINK THE FIRST THING TO DO
IS INSTALL ONE OF THESE
DOORBELL CAMERAS OR SOME TYPE
OF SECURITY CAMERA THAT FACES
YOUR PORCH OR THE FRONT OF THE
HOUSE 4@WITH A PACKAGE IS LIKEL
TO BE DELIVERED.
I THINK THAT'S ALWAYS A VISIBLE
GREAT DETERRENT.4@
GREAT DETERRENT.4@ IF IT ISN'T HIGHLY VISIBLE, I
WOULD RECOMMEND 4@HAVING SOME
SORT OF SIGN, YOU KNOW, A
SECURITY SIGN.
SECURITY SIGN. YOU KNOW, 4@MOST OF THOSE THIEV
THEY ARE CRIMES 4@OF OPPORTUNIT
IF THEY THINK THAT THERE'S A
CHANCE THEY WILL GET CAUGHT,
THEY WILL JUST GO TO NEIGHBORS.
NOT THAT YOU WANT YOUR
NEIGHBORS PACKAGE STOLEN BUT MY
POINT IS,4@ THE MORE THAT YOU
PROTECT YOURSELF, THE LESS
LIKELY IT IS THAT YOUR PACKAGES
WILL BE STOLEN.
THERE ARE LOCKBOXES.
I JUST SAW ONE 4@TODAY.
IT IS4@ A PACKAGE SAFELY PUT
OUTSIDE.
OUTSIDE.
OUTSIDE. WHAT HAPPENS IS YOU 4@CAN ENTER
CODE WHEN YOU ORDER THE PRODUCT
SO WHEN THE PERSON COMES, THEY
LOOK AT IT 4@AND THERE IS A COD
THEY ENTER IT, YOUR LOCKBOX
OPENS UP AND IT CLOSES.
THAT WAY, YOU 4@KNOW THAT YOUR
PACKAGE IS SAFE.
ANOTHER THING THAT YOU CAN DO,
IS YOU CAN OPT IN4@ TO TEXT
MESSAGES. 4@
MESSAGES. 4@ IT COULD SIT THERE FOR HOURS. 4@
THAT WAY YOU CAN GO GRAB IT4@
BEFORE A THIEF GRABS IT.
>> THAT'S BRILLIANT.
SO MANY OPTIONS. 4@
I'M SURE THAT THERE IS ONE THAT
FITS EVERYBODY.
FITS EVERYBODY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIPS.4@4@
