Package theft is at an all-time high, with 1.7 million packages stolen
or lost every day in the U.S. As Amazon drives more shopping online,
Prime members say they receive on average 51 packages a year, and one in
three Americans report having at least one package stolen, resulting in
$25 million of lost goods and services every day. In response, Amazon
has installed secure locker locations in 900 U.S. cities and now offers
Amazon Key, which allows customers to give remote access to delivery
drivers so they can leave packages inside the home, garage or car trunk.
UPS, FedEx and the U.S. Postal Service also offer a growing number of
storefronts where packages can be picked up. Other solutions include
video doorbells by companies like Google, start-ups experimenting with
advanced package tracking, and lockboxes for individual homes.
