Tired of your packages being stolen by porch pirates? You can actually do something about it — by getting a Loxx Boxx, which is essentially a smart home locker that securely receives deliveries.
And right now, you can get your own Loxx Boxx for just $249 on Amazon. That’s a whopping $100 off its usual retail price.
Here’s how it works: When ordering products, you provide an access code to the carrier, who then uses the access code to open the Loxx Boxx and place the shipment inside. The Loxx Boxx itself can be mounted to your porch, but it’s also heavy enough on its own to deter theft.
If you input tracking numbers into the Loxx Boxx app — whether via USPS, Amazon, UPS, or FedEx — the last four digits of the tracking number automatically becomes a one-time access code for the carrier. You can also use the Loxx Boxx app to send one-time codes on demand to friends and family, who can take your packages out for you.
The Loxx Boxx has Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and LTE connectivity, which means you can place it wherever you want and still be able to control it. It has a built-in battery that lasts about 2 months per charge, and it comes with a power bank and a Micro USB cable for discreet recharging. (Or get the extra solar panel accessory and never worry about charging again.)
Note: You’ll need to pay for a Loxx Boxx subscription at $3.99 per month to use LTE functionality, delivery-tracking features, or solar panel accessories. The subscription comes with a 30-day free trial so you can test it out before fully committing.
Our friends at TechHive reviewed the Loxx Boxx and gave it a 4-star rating and their Editors’ Choice award. They found that the Loxx Boxx is a great solution to combat package theft, and they appreciated that it’s made of steel, that it keeps a detailed history of delivered parcels, and that it sends notifications for all new deliveries.
It’s a small price to pay for peace of mind and theft deterrence, so grab a Loxx Boxx for just $249 on Amazon while you still can!
