A lot of us will be relying on online shopping for the holidays this year, and while that certainly may be easier, and safer, than going to the store, it does cause me to be concerned about porch pirates.
A new survey finds:
- 64% of Americans are worried about holiday packages sent to loved ones being stolen by porch pirates.
- The average victim has lost $175.05 in stolen packages and has had three packages stolen during the quarantine.
- 52% of people plan to spend more online this year than in the past.
- Almost half of the folks polled would spend twice the price for something in-store if it meant not having to worry about it arriving safely at their home.
