Porch pirates target Christmas deliveries across Australia

One in 100 packages are damaged, lost or stolen during delivery in Australia, with 110 million parcels moving through networks this holiday season. Sydney and Melbourne experience the highest rates of porch piracy, with organised and opportunistic criminals targeting doorstep deliveries. Freight insurance experts recommend choosing reputable couriers, using sturdy packaging, and purchasing transit insurance to protect Christmas gifts, noting that 80% of claims involve damage rather than theft.
