Have you noticed the <\/span>growing number of multifamily apartment package deliveries<\/span><\/a>\u00a0at your apartment complex? An afternoon walk around the block will reveal more beige uniforms and delivery vans than ever before. Retail products, groceries, mail, packages\u2014these can all be delivered two, three, four times a day for a<\/span> single-family.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And when it comes to multifamily apartments, the sheer number of packages in a <\/span>delivery service<\/span>\u00a0can be staggering.<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s Behind The Growing Number of Deliveries?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The reasons behind this are simple. For starters, package delivery used to be primarily something done by the three largest mail and package couriers in the US: UPS, USPS, and FedEx. Which meant<\/span>\u00a0a tight schedule for the\u00a0<\/span>delivery time<\/span>, usually once a day with the occasional extra stop for special packages.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, Amazon has its own delivery trucks, apps instruct drivers to shop and deliver items, and more nationwide chains are starting to get in on the action.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then there\u2019s the other, perhaps more glaring reason: online shopping. More people are choosing to shop online<\/span> and have their packages delivered to their door, <\/span>versus shopping at a brick and mortar store. Which means more items are being purchased for delivery. Compound that fact with the number of brick and mortar stores offering <\/span>mail services to <\/span>customers<\/span>,<\/span> a way to buy in-store and ship home.<\/span>
\nWhile the reasons for increased deliveries may be straightforward, the repercussions are not.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Increased Package Deliveries Mean For Apartments<\/h4>\n

This increase in package delivery has to be met with <\/span>a<\/span> superior organization. Otherwise, property managers will find themselves entrenched in package overload. With apartment mailboxes fit for letters, most couriers will leave packages outside the front entrance of apartments, making missing or stolen deliveries all too prevalent.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And it\u2019s not just property managers that are feeling the heat with these new delivery demands.<\/span><\/p>\n
