More than 23 million Americans have had a package stolen from their doorstep by a porch pirate. BoxLock, the first internet-connected security padlock designed specifically to thwart porch pirates, protects packages delivered to homes. After a quick setup with the free mobile app (Android and iOS available), BoxLock is placed on a delivery receptacle (such as a Step 2 storage box, small shed or any container with a hasp for a padlock), and the receptacle remains firmly locked until a delivery arrives. Upon delivery, the driver scans the package with a mobile device; the lock opens, allowing the driver to leave the recipient’s package securely inside the locked receptacle. The recipient then gets an automatic notification that the package has been safely delivered. BoxLock, which retails for $129, is non-intrusive and compatible with all major shipping carriers. There’s no software required on their end, just the shipping label. For info, visit www.getboxlock.com.
