How Smart Mail Will Change Your Life

Do you remember going to the supermarket with your mom when you were a kid? If they didn’t sell it at the supermarket you probably didn’t need it. Then came the internet age and you could find your long lost favorite toy with the click of a mouse. Nowadays if they don’t sell it on the internet you probably don’t need it, mainly because you can get everything from clothing and personal care items to groceries and prescriptions delivered right to your door.

Unfortunately along with this newfound ease of shopping has come a newfound ease for thieves- they can also find just about anything they want on your doorstep. Over half of Americans are concerned about having packages stolen from their doorsteps, and it’s starting to become a serious threat to e commerce.

The Internet of Things has a solution to this common problem- a smart mailbox. It can protect your packages from the elements and from would-be thieves, and it can even tell you when your package has been delivered. If you want to defer delivery until you will be home just send a message to your package in transit and it will be rerouted. Learn more about smart mailboxes from this infographic.
