With consumers relying more than ever on home deliveries, reports of porch pirates are surging, too. Enter the Yale Smart Delivery Box, which provides a safe, secure spot for delivery workers to drop items. The sturdy plastic boxes—which can be weighted down with sand for additional security—are fitted with a Wifi-connected lock, which can be set to open for a soon-to-arrive delivery via an app. Once the delivery is complete, the app will notify you so that you can retrieve the item at your leisure. —Jesse Will
