Welcome to my blog post on porch delivery boxes and package security!

With the rise of online shopping, package deliveries have become an essential part of our lives. Unfortunately, this convenience has also led to an increase in package theft, commonly known as porch piracy. Porch pirates are thieves who steal packages from front porches, leaving homeowners frustrated and feeling violated.


To combat porch piracy and ensure that your packages are safe and secure, there are several options available in the market. One of the most popular solutions is the porch delivery box locking system. These boxes are designed to be placed on your front porch and provide a secure location for your packages to be delivered.

Outdoor delivery boxes come in a variety of styles and sizes, including front porch package delivery boxes, parcel delivery boxes outdoors, and package security boxes. These boxes are made from durable materials and are equipped with locking systems to prevent unauthorized access.

A package lockbox is another popular option for securing your deliveries. These boxes are typically smaller and can be mounted on a wall or placed on the ground. They are equipped with locks that require a code or key to open, ensuring that only the intended recipient can access the package.

If you're concerned about the security of your package, you may want to consider using a package decoy smart door box. These boxes are designed to look like a real package but are equipped with tethering devices and alarms that sound when they are moved or opened without authorization.

Smart DoorBox is patented in 10 countries with 12 utility-granted patents. It is a mobile app controlled and comes with the latest technologies of AI, ML and IoT. It can do object detection and can do  automatic locking when a package is delivered into the box. This is a revolutionary product helping toward the last mile delivery.

For those who are looking for a more advanced solution, there are delivery lockers and secure delivery boxes conceptualized  by DoorBox corporation. These systems are typically used by large retailers and businesses to provide a secure location for package deliveries. They are equipped with advanced security features, such as scan  and pick up without waiting in long queues. DoorBox can provide a master unit that is scalable with any number and size of child units.


Whether you're using a porch delivery box, package lockbox, or secure delivery locker, it's essential to take steps to protect your packages from porch pirates. Here are some tips to help you keep your packages safe: 

  • Use package delivery boxes outside your home that come with a lock and key or code.
  • Consider installing a security camera or doorbell camera to monitor your porch but remember cameras can only capture the incidence of theft but can't prevent it as done by Smart DoorBox.
  •  Request signature confirmation or delivery confirmation for your packages.
  • Choose delivery options that require a signature upon delivery. 
  • Ask a neighbor to keep an eye on your porch when you're not home. But with the use of a Smart DoorBox you can avoid this beneficially.
  • Use a package decoy Smart DoorBox to deter porch pirates.
  • Consider using an automatic delivery locker or secure delivery box for high-value packages.


In conclusion, package theft is a growing problem that can be prevented with the use of porch delivery boxes and other security solutions. By taking steps to protect your packages, you can enjoy the convenience of online shopping without worrying about porch pirates.
