"We expect parcel piracy to continue to grow as global parcel deliveries increase if measures are not taken on a global scale. We are doing our best to help delivery companies and drivers, who are under extreme pressure, and to save online shoppers the headache of waiting in for parcel deliveries, rearranging missed deliveries and traipsing to parcel depots - as well as the heartache of lost and stolen parcels."
