Often the simplest "why didn't I think of that" ideas are the best! Protects my deliveries from weather, animals, prying eyes and theft. I had the perfect spot for this Step2 parcel box on my front porch, and the color and design match perfectly. I also understand that I can register with UPS, FedEx and the US Postal Service to designate the box as my preferred delivery location for all deliveries. Thanks, Step2, for making me aware of this great option so all delivery drivers know to use the parcel box!
