These packages can be easily snatched, and not all merchants will cover stolen items.
Here are some tips:
1. Require a signature at drop off. If you're not home you should be able to reschedule the delivery or reroute a delivery
2. Use safe secure pick-up locations like an Amazon store or your local post office, UPS store or FedEx store.
3. Ask your shipper to place your package in a secret spot, such as the side of the home or the back of your house, anywhere that would be out of sight of a possible "porch pirate."
