A 24/7 Mailbox Keeps Your Packages Safe While You're Out

Never have a delivery stolen or rained on again.

For many renters, package delivery is a constant hassle. If you’re not at home when a carrier shows up, your stuff is either left vulnerable on your doorstep or held elsewhere for pick-up—and who has time for that? If you have packages delivered to your office instead, you still have to lug the boxes home (and maybe you don’t want all your coworkers to know how often you shop at Zappos).

A startup called ParcelHome might have the solution: a “24/7 smart delivery box” that keeps your packages secure until you can reach them. It’s fully integrated with a smartphone app so you can keep track of deliveries and pick-ups in real time.
