Nowadays, you can get almost anything delivered to your door, from clothing, groceries and pet supplies to household items and even medication. Ever since the COVID-19 worldwide pandemic took place, more and more people started shopping online and getting packages delivered to their doorstep. However, this also caused a rise in porch piracy, which has been a serious problem that has only continued to rise within the US. According to a report from 2023, statistics suggest that porch pirates stole more than $8 billion worth of goods just in 2023 alone. Still, while porch pirates have become a rising concern for American households, there are some smart home solutions which you can use to ensure that any incoming packages are safely delivered to your door and remain securely protected until you can retrieve them. One of those solutions is none other than the Loxx Boxx.
The Loxx Boxx is a smart package delivery box that’s specifically designed to protect your packages from theft and bad weather. It packs an extremely durable alloy steel construction, has a large and spacious storage with over 8 cubic ft. capacity for securely storing multiple packages that are delivered to you. It comes equipped with a digital control panel boasting a Wi-Fi Protected Setup button that lets you easily unlock it to quickly access your packages, while also integrating a built-in high-capacity power bank that provides it with backup power to ensure your packages remain protected during power outages, plus a built-in audible tamper alarm that’s triggered if the box is tampered with. It also features Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, as well as 4G LTE (cellular) connectivity, and also boasts in-App controls via the Loxx Boxx App, through which users can monitor packages being delivered to their Loxx Boxx in real time, create and manage admin-use and one-time access codes, track deliveries, track the unit’s internal temperature and its battery life, receive notifications for package deliveries and code uses, and also alerts regarding potential tampers and high temperatures.

In case you’re still not convinced, check out our full review of the Loxx Boxx, where we go over how this smart package delivery box is designed to work, and also discuss a bit more about each of its many functionalities.
DESIGN & SPECS
Starting with the unit’s size, this smart package delivery box comes packs a somewhat bulky, but still sleek enough size to provide you with enough storage space while still ensuring that it doesn’t take up too much space next to your doorstep. The unit measures exactly 38.5 inches long by 16.75 inches wide by 21.5 inches tall (97.79 x 42.54 x 54.61), and has some hefty weight to it, weighing 68 lbs. (30.84 kg), which should seriously discourage potential porch pirates from ever trying to drag it and take it away.
This smart package delivery box also has a fairly large and spacious storage space, boasting over 8 cubic ft. capacity, so you’re offered a vast amount of space for securely storing multiple packages that are delivered to you.
Despite its somewhat large dimensions, the Loxx Boxx still sports a very modern and super-discreet design, which gives it a very unobtrusive look that doesn’t attract too much attention.
More importantly, the Loxx Boxx also packs an ultra-durable and extremely resilient construction. Its body is built from sturdy 16 gauge alloy steel and has a powder-coating finish, which gives it even more durability. This choice of material also makes the unit’s allow steel body completely weather-proof, so you can rest assured that your packages will also be perfectly protected from harsh weather conditions, whether that’s dust, heavy rain, or even snow.
