Oh, the package outside is risky …

Studying the issue since 2017, Shorr Packaging Corp. found that 24% of consumers reported packages have been stolen from outside of their homes, the packaging company said in its recent 2019 Package Theft Report.

In a 2019 survey of 1,052 online shoppers, 58% of those affected by package theft said they planned on changing their online purchasing habits around the holidays to avoid being package theft victims again. Of them, 64% of them having packages delivered elsewhere and 45% will be scheduling deliveries.

However, the next most popular mitigation strategy appears to be cameras: 41% of victims have purchased a video doorbell, according to the survey results, released in November.

After that, it will be more security, as 31% planned to do so this holiday season.
