00:06 Hi, Andrea Avery, United States Postal Inspector here, with another tip on how to protect your mail. 00:11 Thieves love packages sitting on front porches. And this time of year, there can be a lot of packages—and a lot of thieves. 00:19 Why make it easy for the bad guys? Make sure what you mail stays safe. 00:23 When shipping a package, did you know that you can choose the Hold for Pickup option, 00:27 and the recipient can collect the package at their local Post Office? 00:30 It's a great way to make sure your mailing is safe and secure when you know the recipient will not be home to accept delivery. 00:36 And if you're expecting a package and know you won't be home, 00:39 you can redirect that incoming package to your local Post Office. It's easy. 00:44 Just go to USPS.com and select Package Intercept. Take away that opportunity for the bad guys to steal your mail. 00:51 For more tips on protecting your mail, check out the Postal Inspection Service website at USPIS.gov. 00:56 Let's keep your mail safe and your holidays happy.
