You’ve saved up your money for that special purchase on Amazon. You have it shipped to your home, but you work all day so when the package is delivered it sits outside for who knows how long. Now you’re worried that someone may steal it. Or maybe the wet snow may damage your items? Worst, the package was not deliverable because you live a high-rise condo and the courier company can’t leave it by the public doorway. Instead they take it to the nearest pickup location which takes at least one business day.
These are common stories we hear from customers and just some of the reasons why they rent a mailbox. Businesses like The UPS Store #453 are used as a delivery or ship to location for an online purchase. The customer can track the shipment online and when it arrives at the location they know the package is safely stored until they are ready to pick it up. They don’t have to worry about theft or the elements damaging their purchase.
So, the next time you have a package stolen from your front steps or if the elements damage your precious purchase, look at using a mailbox service. Be sure to ask the business that they accept packages from any couriers as well as how long they’ll store the package. Also ask about package receiving notification services. These additional services will bring you more peace of mind as you make your online purchases.
