1News has some helpful tips to protect your packages from grinches this festive season:

  1. Opt for tracking so you can follow your parcel from the depot to its destination and provide clear instructions so couriers can deliver your parcel safely.
  2. Make sure you or someone you trust is home to sign for the package or have a secure location within your property where it can be hidden.
  3. Clear your mailbox in a timely manner and put a hold on mail delivery if you're going away.
  4. Consider CCTV or security cameras and keep an eye out for anyone suspicious hanging around your property.
