Avoid Porch Pirates Without Renting a Mailbox
If you’re worried about packages being stolen from your porch, you’re not alone. Package theft — often called porch piracy — has become a growing problem in cities across the country, including Philadelphia.
The Philadelphia Mailroom now offers a simple solution.
For just $7 per box, you can have your package delivered safely to our location instead of your home. We’ll receive the delivery and hold it securely until you’re ready to pick it up.
This flexible service gives you a safe delivery option without committing to a monthly private mailbox rental.
How the Package Hold Service Works
Using our package hold service is easy.
- Ship your package to The Philadelphia Mailroom
- Your delivery arrives safely at our store
- We securely hold the package for pickup
- You stop by and pick it up when it’s convenient
Packages can be delivered to us by USPS, UPS, FedEx, or DHL, giving you complete flexibility when ordering online.
When This Service Is Most Useful
Our $7 package hold service is perfect for situations like:
- You’re at work during delivery hours
• You’re traveling or away from home
• Your building doesn’t have secure package storage
• You’re expecting valuable or important shipments
• You want to avoid the risk of porch pirates
Instead of worrying about whether a package will still be waiting when you get home, you can have it delivered to a secure location and pick it up on your schedule.
Need a Long-Term Delivery Solution?
If you receive packages frequently, you may want to consider a private mailbox rental.
Private mailboxes allow you to receive all mail and packages from USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL at our location year-round. Many customers prefer this option for ongoing convenience and security.
