The coronavirus has almost put an end to our shopping trips to malls at least for the time being. In the background of restrictions on physical shops, online marketplaces are growing in popularity.

The growth of online marketplaces means a corresponding increase in home deliveries. Home delivery means that someone needs to be at home to receive the package.

It is not always possible for a customer to be present at his home when his package arrives. In case the owner is not at home the packages are left at the door.

But does a package left at the door reach its rightful owner? Sometimes not. Many people have gone through experiences where the package reaches the porch but doesn`t reach the owner or reaches the owner in a damaged condition. It's a disturbing situation, to say the least.

Can you prevent this from happening? Yes, you can. A secure solution is available in the form of package lockers. Read on as we introduce you to package lockers and discuss its various aspects.
