If you purchase a lot online you might notice couriers are starting to leave your parcels abandoned on the doorstep. Their new technology allows them to take a photograph of your parcel to acknowledge delivery. Sometimes this isn’t enough and customers prefer a knock on the door to let them know something’s been delivered. If consumers haven’t been notified of delivery, parcels could be left outside for some time. Causing damaged, stolen or even lost parcels.
Abandoned and Damaged Parcels
Leaving deliveries on doorsteps can inconvenience both consumers and retailers massively because if consumers don’t receive their parcel, retailers are expected to cover the cost. Causing an unhappy customer and retailers who are out of pocket. This could be the result of thieves because let’s face it if a valuable parcel is laying there on someone’s doorstep, porch pirates (thieves) aren’t going to turn a blind eye. In addition, the rain could damage your valuables while sat outside, especially if they’re electrical. If parcels are abandoned in the rain this leaves you with nothing but a soggy parcel and a waste of money.
Ultimately, when customers can’t find their parcel due to theft, damage or loss, retailers must pay to replace their stolen or damaged goods. Not only impacting the customer but the retailer too, who are potentially losing thousands of pounds on replacing items every year.
