Explore Amazon’s Services at Your Self-Storage Property

I want to drive more traffic to your store by leveraging Amazon’s services at your self-storage property. One concerning issue that has become prevalent is package theft, often referred to as “porch piracy.” We’ve seen multiple incidents captured on surveillance cameras, showcasing individuals stealing packages from doorsteps.

The statistics surrounding this issue are staggering. In New York City alone, approximately 90,000 packages are stolen daily, representing a 20% increase in thefts. Furthermore, one-third of all Americans have fallen victim to package theft, and about 15% of packages never reach their intended recipients. This situation is increasingly familiar with the rise of home deliveries from Amazon and other services, making it a ripe solution opportunity.

Amazon offers lockers as an alternative for package pickup. Utilizing these lockers can significantly reduce liability for customers concerned about theft, as it provides a secure delivery location. By implementing Amazon’s services at your self-storage property with these lockers, you can attract more customers while addressing the growing issue of package theft.

If you have regular deliveries for customers, it’s convenient for them to receive packages from Amazon directly at your location. They can deliver their items to a secure locker, keeping everything safe. However, one downside is that you must provide electricity for the lockers. Despite this drawback, it presents a great opportunity in the bigger picture.

I wanted to highlight how Amazon customers use these lockers and how you can utilize Amazon’s services at your self-storage property: customers go to the Amazon locker, find their unique pickup code, and enter it through the email or text they received. Once they have the pickup code, they can open the locker and retrieve their items. It’s clever. This system effectively addresses the issue of porch theft.

Amazon Interior Lockers

They come in various sizes. While there aren’t many options, utilizing these lockers in a self-storage area would work well for us. We could consider a secure space inside the office, for example. A locker located in an interior hallway also offers excellent visibility. This Amazon locker appears very useful, as it likely receives many packages.

Having electricity outside is also helpful. This hub is one of the smaller options. I’m assuming they offer different configurations based on the location and the type of activity they expect. This specific unit is relatively small, making it easy and convenient to incorporate into any storage property.

Amazon also provides a service called Amazon Counters, where customers can drop off items they wish to return. These items are then packaged and sent back to Amazon. This service can benefit your storage property as it gives managers additional tasks to do during slower hours. This is an excellent option if you have a store that isn’t very busy.
