• Suggestions for fending off Porch Pirates include…
• Have shipments delivered to work if allowed
• Ask friends or neighbors usually at home during the day to receiving your packages
• Require a signature for packages ordered and delivered to home – assuming someone will be there to receive them
• Use alternative pickup and delivery options available from FedEx, the U.S. Postal Service and UPS
• Install home security devices including surveillance cameras
• None of the options above are as simple and convenient for homeowners as installing an easy to use, out-of-sight, secure package delivery box at home

Clients building new homes will thank you for including the Package Protector™ carrier neutral package delivery amenity in their new home!

• Guards packages from rain and other harmful elements
• Internal compartment (34”x12”x15”) accepts ~95% of popular package sizes and multiple small packages of varying sizes
• Package Protector™ keeps packages out of sight from porch pirates

• It’s super simple to use – for homeowners and parcel carriers!
• Homeowner sets access code on resettable combination lock
• When ordering something online the homeowner simply adds the access code into the shipping address …
• First & Last Name
• Address Line #1: House # and Street Name
• Line #2: Input XXXX to open Package Protector™ on porch
• City, State & Zip Code
• Carrier deposits package in Package Protector™ - closes and locks the door - and moves on to his or her next delivery
• Access code can be changed by homeowner at any time
• Homeowner can allow anyone to use Package Protector™ simply by providing them the current access code

• Choosing a location for Package Protector™ that is convenient for parcel carriers is very important
• Packages are typically delivered to the front door, so siting Package Protector™ in the front porch area is optimal
• If the porch is not ideal due to the home floorplan, then close to the porch in a covered, protected location is the next best alternative
• Installing the Package Protector™ PRO model into an unconditioned space such as a garage or storage area is recommended
• Carriers will happily use Package Protector™ if it is located in a convenient location that doesn’t add time to their delivery process

• If recessing Package Protector™ PRO won’t work with your home design – the free-standing, pedestal mounted Package Protector™ PORT model is right for you!
• Package Protector™ PORT mounted on a pedestal can be anchored to an existing concrete porch, driveway or any existing concrete pad at least 4” thick.
• If no existing concrete pad is available where you want to place your Package Protector™ PORT you can pour a 12”x 18” x 24” D concrete pier to place it anywhere.
• When selecting your site, just remember that parcel carriers will be happy to use either Package Protector™ model as long as it’s in a convenient location that doesn’t add time to their delivery process.
