Your online shopping relief.
It’s factual—nearly 1/3 of all packages left on the porch after delivery are stolen. And as online shopping continues to grow more and more each year, this means millions of items are taken from innocent buyers!
The idea for the Parcel Receiving Unit & Service was born from a retired senior who is home about 85% of the week. For many online shoppers, they’re unable to be home at the time their package is delivered due to work hours, school, or even traffic. Why not authorize and pay a retiree to receive your package for you, keeping it safely inside until you’re able to get it?
With the custom-built parcel receiving unit sitting in the window of a retiree’s home, your packages are delivered into the home—making it safe from the moment it arrives. For just a small holding fee, a neighbor who is home more often than you can make sure your package is kept safe and sound.
HOW IT WORKS
1
Register for our service using the registration form below. Registration and authorization to receive your package(s) is only required once. Your information will be kept on file and will be used for future service. Once your registration is approved, you will be assigned a local Parcel Receiver and their contact information is provided to you.
2
After placing your online order, send a copy of purchase receipt (via email or text) to your local Parcel Receiver. Your Parcel Receiver will confirm receipt, and can now keep an eye out for the date & time your package will be delivered to the Parcel Receiving Unit.
3
Once your package is delivered and in the hands of your assigned local Parcel Receiver, you will be notified by email, text, or phone (your preference).
4
You and your assigned local Parcel Receiver will coordinate whether you plan to pick up your package, or if you prefer it be delivered to you once you are home. Pricing varies depending on pick-up or delivery. Payment is due at the time your package is in your hands, and a valid photo ID is required when getting your package.
PRICING
All pricing is based on the order date of delivery. Customers can pick-up from their local Parcel Receiver, or have the Receiver deliver it to your home when you’re ready to receive it. Payment (in full) is due at the time you receive your package.

$10.00 for the first package and $5.00 for all additional packages.
