If you’re going to be away at work, we always recommend that you make arrangements with a friend of a neighbor to pick up your mail,” said Tad Kelly, of the U.S. Postal Service. “We always recommend picking up your mail as soon as it’s delivered.”
Postal officials say insurance is also another layer of protection. And the sender can ask for a signature when the package is delivered that way the package isn’t just left at door or in a common lobby.
