MEMPHIS, Tenn. — As the holiday season approaches, one thing is common in many Memphis neighborhoods: a porch with a package waiting to be taken.

Shelby County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Anthony Buckner said residents should take extra precautions to prevent thefts.

“If you’re going to be ordering packages, try to schedule those deliveries during a time when you’ll be at home,” Buckner said.

For those unable to do so, Buckner suggests shipping packages to family members, friends, or even a workplace where someone will be there to accept the delivery. 

He also encourages using designated shipping locations such as package lockers, which are available at various businesses across Memphis and Shelby County.

“There are several businesses that allow you to ship Amazon packages to a locker, where you can pick them up at your convenience,” Buckner said.

Amazon reports that more than 25,000 of these locations are available nationwide.
