Best Places to Install Your Lockable Package Box

With the rise of online shopping, lockable package boxes have become essential for protecting deliveries from theft, weather, and spoilage, as well as keeping your porch organized and free from clutter. But where is the best place to install your package delivery box? Let’s take a closer look at the best spots for these secure package containers.

Porch

The porch is a popular spot for your lockable package box. It’s the first place delivery drivers look, making it convenient for them to find and use. Depending on your porch size, place the box next to the door, either perpendicular or parallel to the house, for easy access.

For larger porches with furniture or plants, choose a porch package box like the Feliluke Modern Package Delivery Boxes. These options blend seamlessly with your home’s decor, offering clean lines and colors that match your style.

Next to the Mailbox

Traditional mailboxes are often too small for the volume of packages delivered today. Placing your secure package box next to the mailbox is a practical solution, especially since many retailers use the United States Postal Service (USPS) for shipping. This placement ensures your packages are delivered instead of being taken back to the sorting facility.

Driveway

For rural homes, placing a lockable package box at the end of the driveway is a smart choice. Remote locations can be targets for theft, and having a secure package box at the driveway’s end ensures deliveries even on days when the driveway is unplowed. This setup also prevents delivery drivers from leaving packages at the intersection of the driveway and the road.

Side of the House

Some homeowners prefer to place their steel package boxes in less obvious locations to avoid theft. Packages left in plain view or near the street are more likely to be stolen. If your front entry is crowded or not suitable for a lockable package box, consider installing it on the side of your house. This is especially handy if there’s a side door frequently used for entry or near the garage where delivery drivers often leave packages.

But actually, you don’t have to worry about your Feliluke box being stolen because there is a secure lock to protect your package in the bottom compartment, and the ground-anchoring kits prevent your heavy-duty parcel drop box from being wholly stolen. Rest assured as long as you choose Feliluke.

Back Door

For those who have a back door with easy access, placing a lockable package box there can be a great option. This location is typically less visible from the street, reducing the risk of theft. It’s also convenient for homeowners who frequently use the back entrance.

The only downside is that the box may not be as visible to delivery drivers, which could reduce the likelihood of them placing the package inside. However, you can also use some sign stickers at front door to guide the deliver driver to find your boxes being placed on the side of the house, and then put your package inside.

Apartments

For apartment dwellers or those with limited space, placing a delivery lock box by the front door is ideal. In multi-tenant buildings, common areas by the main entrance are great locations for these boxes, accommodating all types of deliveries, including food drop-offs. An outdoor location by the building’s main entrance might be preferred to keep interior spaces clear and accessible.

Some of our apartment buyers pool their resources to purchase a delivery lock box to prevent package theft in the apartment’s package room. Feliluke boxes come with two keys as standard. If you need additional keys, please contact support@feliluke.com. Rest assured, each box’s lock and keys are uniquely matched, so no one else’s key will open your lock.

Businesses

Businesses can also benefit from installing secure package receptacles. These boxes can securely receive shipments and serve as pick-up locations for contactless purchases. Their classic design makes them suitable for placement outside the front door or inside without disrupting the establishment’s decor.
