Porch Pirates, Are They Real?

November 24, 2021/in Recent Posts /by sue

Keep Your Packages Safe
Pirates have always been something that appears in story books. But lately piracy has become
very real for a lot of online holiday shoppers. The name Porch Pirates sounds cute and maybe
you’re thinking of all the kiddies showing up on your doorstep at Halloween, but these are not
your neighbor’s children in costume. Porch Pirates steal packages from door steps and porches.
Sometimes these thieves will even follow a delivery vehicle and scoop the package right after
it’s been dropped on the doorstep.

As of Sept of this year, nearly one quarter of online shoppers have felt the sting of porch piracy.
The average value a stolen package is about $113.

Some shoppers that have fallen victim to Porch Piracy before have taken it upon themselves to
fight back. People are putting out boxes full of glitter, dog poo or the cat litter to “be taken.”
While we admire people’s creativity why even give thieves a chance?

Between 2010 to 2017, there was a 581% rise in reports of packages stolen off doorsteps. With
porch piracy on the rise, we’d like to offer a solution for keeping your packages safe.
Our office is insured to receive your online orders and we offer this service free of charge to
everyone on our community. It’s our way of helping you have a happy holiday season. You can check out our Facebook page for other ideas and community happenings: https://www.facebook.com/MedicineHatStorage/

Step 2

Small Storage Solutions: Are They For You?

January 3, 2017/in Uncategorized /by sue

Okay, you’ve tapped into your “storage genius” and organized every closet, nook and cranny in your home. You’ve pared down and decluttered all you can bare. So, what options are left if you still need to create a little breathing room in your home?

People often take decluttering to the next level with a self-storage unit. But what if a 5×5 or 5×10 storage unit is more than you need? At Storage Group Alberta, we have the means to help you store a little for less! We’re not just talking about storage units but actual smaller storage solutions.

If you are just looking to store a box of possessions like say the holiday decorations, a Christmas tree, golf clubs or skis. Storage Group Alberta will store single items at a very low cost. Some of our storage locations will even pick up boxed items from your home or office. Read more
