Of that number, 9 million experienced package theft in the three months leading up to the report\u2019s publication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ecommerce merchants suffer a lot because of this. Lost packages bring in refund requests or replacement and reshipping costs. Support tickets also increase since customers can&#8217;t find their package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Package theft isn&#8217;t stopping anytime soon. So, in this article, we&#8217;ll share seven ways on how merchants can help prevent theft. We\u2019ll also cover what people can do if they become victims of porch pirates (aka package thieves).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why Package Theft Happens After Delivery<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Package theft happens during that window where items are left unattended. It usually comes down to these common delivery factors: how packages are dropped off and how updates are shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>No signature required: <\/strong>Most carriers charge extra for signature confirmation (since it\u2019s not included by default). For standard or lower-value shipments, merchants often keep it disabled to avoid added fees and maintain delivery convenience.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Uncertain delivery windows: <\/strong>Customers need a clear idea of when their package will arrive. If merchants use \u201c3\u20135 days\u201d as the only estimate, they might not be at home and miss the delivery period.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lack of visibility: <\/strong>When merchants don\u2019t provide timely delivery updates or clear drop-off details, customers may not realize that their package has arrived or know where to find it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, these delivery gaps leave packages unattended and create the perfect opportunity for theft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the next section, we\u2019ll walk through practical ways to prevent package theft by improving delivery timing, visibility, and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Prevent Package Theft in 7 Practical Ways<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are seven practical ways to prevent package theft:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Enable Real-Time Delivery Tracking<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Real-time tracking helps you catch \u201cred flags\u201d and anomalies early by showing live delivery status and location updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s say that a package gets dropped off in a risky spot like the front door. You can notify your customer of the exact location of their order. If the delivery time seems off, you can check the status, spot delays, and step in before the package becomes untraceable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, offering real-time visibility (especially during high-theft seasons) can reduce their anxiety and build their trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Send Delivery Notifications at Key Milestones<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Delivery notifications work best when they are sent at the right moment. Updates when the item was shipped, on its way, or already delivered help customers have a clearer sense of its arrival time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, an \u201cout-for-delivery\u201d message tells customers their package will arrive that day. So, they can stay and wait for it, or maybe ask someone to do that on their behalf. \u201cDelivered\u201d notification confirms where the delivery person dropped the package, so customers can retrieve it on the dot.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since notifications alert customers to the timing and exact drop-off location, they can protect their &#8220;unattended packages&#8221; from porch theft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Use an Order Status Tracking Page<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An order status tracking page gives customers one reliable place to check their delivery details themselves. They don&#8217;t have to wait for an email reply or call support.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Compared to inbox or SMS updates (that can get buried by other messages), a branded tracking page is available 24\/7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Customers can open it anytime to view the latest status, timestamps, and proof of delivery using their tracking number. If something doesn\u2019t look right, they can verify the details and contact the business, which is better than simply expecting the worst.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That access clears up a lot of post-delivery confusion. When an order shows as delivered but isn\u2019t immediately in sight, customers can review drop-off notes or location details before jumping to conclusions about stolen items. In many cases, the issue is sorted out in minutes rather than turning into a theft claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For you as a merchant, a branded tracking page brings carrier updates into one place and presents them consistently and professionally.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Offer Delivery Time Windows<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Delivery time windows can lower the risk of package theft by making arrival times less of a guessing game. Since customers will have an idea when their order will show up, they can make themselves available to receive it (or secure it) shortly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Merchants can support this by offering delivery time options at checkout. Or, use carrier services that allow &#8220;scheduled delivery&#8221; for higher-risk orders like gadgets and high-value items. Clear delivery windows give customers confidence and allow merchants to deliver a more reliable post-purchase experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Encourage Safe Delivery Locations<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Safe delivery locations reduce theft by limiting how long packages are left exposed. When the drop-off point is more controlled, there is simply less opportunity for someone else to take the package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Lockers or pickup points:<\/strong> Using package lockers or carrier pickup locations keeps packages out of sight instead of leaving them at a door. Access is limited to authorized individuals, which removes the most common theft scenario: a box sitting in plain view.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Concierge desks or mailrooms: <\/strong>In buildings with staffed mailrooms or concierge desks, packages are handed to a person rather than left unattended. Deliveries move into indoor and managed spaces.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Backdoor or hidden-location delivery: <\/strong>For houses, allowing customers to choose a less visible drop-off spot helps reduce attention from passersby. Packages placed away from the street are harder to spot and less likely to be taken.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. Collaborate with Carriers on Secure Delivery Options<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many major carriers already offer built-in options that help merchants control how and where packages are delivered. Knowing which partners support signature requirements and designated drop-off points makes it easier to apply these safeguards when needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some well-known delivery companies that already offer signature services and secure drop-off options merchants can use to better control how packages are delivered:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Carrier<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Signature Requirements<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Designated Drop-off Points<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>FedEx<\/strong><\/td><td>Direct Signature Required, Adult Signature Required<\/td><td>FedEx locations and authorized pickup points<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>UPS<\/strong><\/td><td>Signature Required, Adult Signature Required, Restricted Delivery<\/td><td>UPS Access Point locations, UPS Stores, and customer centers<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>DHL<\/strong><\/td><td>Direct Signature, Adult Signature Required<\/td><td>DHL service points and authorized locations<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>USPS<\/strong><\/td><td>Signature Confirmation\u2122, Adult Signature, Registered Mail\u00ae<\/td><td>Post Office locations and approved collection points<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Royal Mail<\/strong><\/td><td>Signature on Delivery, Special Delivery Guaranteed<\/td><td>Post Offices and nominated Safeplace locations<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>7. Systematize Package Security with Shipment Tracking Software<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trackingmore.com\/blog\/shipment-tracking-software\/\">Shipment tracking software<\/a> centralizes carrier data from all shipments in one platform, so merchants no longer have to check multiple systems or manually track each delivery. This visibility allows them to spot delays, misdeliveries, or unusual patterns across different carriers and take action before small issues become bigger problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By automating these updates, merchants can standardize post-purchase workflows and reduce the risk of errors or information gaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Customers benefit from this consistency as well. They can track their packages with confidence, know when something is off, and experience a smooth post-purchase journey that strengthens trust in the brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What to Do If Your Package Is Stolen<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even with preventive measures in place, sometimes packages still go missing. If a package appears to be stolen, shoppers should take the following steps in order:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Check the tracking details<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Confirm the delivery status, timestamp, and any delivery notes or photo proof. This helps verify whether the package was marked as delivered and where it was left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Contact the merchant<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Reach out to the store with the order number and tracking information. Merchants usually need to confirm the situation before starting a replacement, refund, or claim process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Report the issue to the carrier<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"994\" height=\"428\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trackingmore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/How-to-report-package-theft-to-FedEx.png\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/www.trackingmore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/How-to-report-package-theft-to-FedEx.png\" alt=\"How to report package theft to FedEx\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-8731\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27994%27%20height%3D%27428%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20994%20428%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27994%27%20height%3D%27428%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trackingmore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/How-to-report-package-theft-to-FedEx-200x86.png 200w, https:\/\/www.trackingmore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/How-to-report-package-theft-to-FedEx-300x129.png 300w, https:\/\/www.trackingmore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/How-to-report-package-theft-to-FedEx-400x172.png 400w, https:\/\/www.trackingmore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/How-to-report-package-theft-to-FedEx-600x258.png 600w, https:\/\/www.trackingmore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/How-to-report-package-theft-to-FedEx-768x331.png 768w, https:\/\/www.trackingmore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/How-to-report-package-theft-to-FedEx-800x344.png 800w, https:\/\/www.trackingmore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/How-to-report-package-theft-to-FedEx.png 994w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 994px) 100vw, 994px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the merchant has been notified and confirmed the situation, contact the shipping carrier, responsible for the delivery service, to file a claim. For example, <strong>FedEx<\/strong> recommends documenting what happened, filing a claim as soon as possible, and providing specific details about the missing items. Claims must be submitted within the carrier\u2019s stated time limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Track and Confirm Resolution<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep track of any updates, respond promptly if additional information is requested, and confirm the resolution (whether it\u2019s a refund, replacement, or other outcome). This ensures the process is fully completed and avoids lingering confusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As long as online shopping is popular, porch piracy is unlikely to disappear completely. There will always be some level of risk. What does make a real difference is using the right tools and processes to monitor deliveries, provide timely updates, and guide customers when issues arise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By standardizing post-purchase workflows and ensuring customers have visibility into their deliveries, merchants not only protect packages but also enhance the overall customer experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>TrackingMore<\/strong> is a platform that helps merchants take control of the post-purchase stage.
