Safely Handover Parcels in Public Places

Ensuring Secure Parcel Handovers in Public Locations

Importance of Public Handovers​

Handing over parcels in public places ensures the safety and security of both the traveler and the shipper. Public locations are typically well-lit, monitored by surveillance cameras, and frequented by people, reducing the risk of theft or fraud.

Choosing Safe Locations​

  1. Public Places:

    • Choose locations like cafes, shopping malls, airports, or train stations
    • These places are usually busy and have security measures in place

  2. Well-Lit Areas:

    • Ensure the handover location is well-lit
    • Especially important if the exchange is taking place in the evening or at night

  3. Surveillance Cameras:

    • Opt for locations with security cameras
    • Helps deter potential wrongdoings
    • Provides evidence if needed

  4. Familiar Spots:

    • Select places you are familiar with
    • Increases your comfort and confidence during the handover

Best Practices for Safe Handovers​

  1. Confirm Details:

    • Verify the time, location, and identity of the shipper before the meeting
    • Use the AirJIT messaging system to confirm these details

    • If possible, bring a friend or family member along
    • Provides added security during the handover

  3. Arrive Early:

    • Familiarize yourself with the surroundings
    • Look for any potential issues

  4. Stay Alert:

    • Be aware of your surroundings
    • Keep an eye on the parcel at all times
    • Trust your instincts if something feels wrong
