📦 Important Notice: Protecting Your Parcels from Theft

Dear Residents,

We’ve recently received reports of parcels being stolen after delivery. To help keep your packages safe and avoid the frustration of missing items, here are a few simple but effective steps you can take:

🔐 Tips to Keep Your Parcels Safe:

Track Your Deliveries: Use tracking notifications to know exactly when your parcel is arriving.

Request a Safe Place: When ordering, specify a secure location out of sight (e.g., behind a bin, in a porch, or with a trusted neighbour).

Use Lockers or Collection Points: Many couriers offer delivery to secure location out of sight (e.g., behind a bin, in a porch, or with a trusted neighbour).

Coordinate with Neighbours: If you’re not home, ask a neighbour to collect your parcel or keep an eye out.

Install a Doorbell Camera: Visible security can deter thieves and help identify suspicious activity.

If you believe a parcel has been stolen, please report it to the courier and contact local authorities if necessary. Staying vigilant and working together can help keep our communities safe.

Thank you and kind regards,
