As online shopping continues to surge, an unexpected consequence has been plaguing consumers – a staggering 287% rise in parcel thefts from 2019 to last year.
It seems that our front gardens and porches have become the new gold mines for criminals who follow delivery vans. More often than not, a parcel isn’t just a random package. It’s that must-have gadget, a personal treat after a hard week, or a thoughtful gift for a loved one. When parcels go missing, it’s not just the financial loss but the disappointment that really stings.
In the age of eCommerce, shouldn’t we be able to expect safe and secure deliveries? At Liberty Jai, we’re well aware of this growing problem and have partnered with innovators like our client, HubBox, who are pioneering solutions to tackle this issue head-on. Their approach could not only help secure deliveries but also restore trust in the online shopping experience. Because at the end of the day, shouldn’t the excitement of online shopping be about what’s in the box, not whether it’ll safely reach us?
Is parcel theft something you’re concerned about? Have you experienced this frustration firsthand? Let’s discuss how we can collectively create safer delivery experiences.
