The Original Porch Pirate Bag

I bought this nearly 2 years ago. I thought it would be a worthwhile purchase. I know people who have been pirated of their packages and I didn't want that to happen to me. I thought I was being proactive. The problem is, despite the bag being out there, the delivery people don't/won't use it. I come home to the bag untouched and my package on the porch. So for me, it has been a waste of money. It's not the bag's fault. I still think it's a good concept.

It does exactly what it is designed to do. I needed something that would deter the opportunistic thief but not spend a fortune and this fit the bill. The bag is quite spacious and weather proof. The one drawback is the lock that comes with it to secure the zipper to the bag is very small and hard to manipulate. A couple of times, I found the delivery person didn't bother to lock the zipper to the bag and I suspect it's because it's not quick and easy to do, Those guys are on the clock and don't have time to mess with something like that. I had to buy a bigger padlock.

The combination lock was too difficult to set, and the instructions did not explain how to do it correctly. The cord for the bag is too small to fit around a front door post. It needs a bigger, better instruction card for the postman too. I ended up returning it. Great idea, but needs improvement.

Not bullet proof but when recieving packages in less than desirable locations it serves the purpose. Of coarse it can be broken into or stolen but thief would need to know what's in the bag to risk it. It serves my purpose perfectly.

The cord needs to be longer! I now have 2 cords on it!

love it. the mail carrier appears to be fine with it and have left all packages as instructed. i did, however, exchange the combination lock for a regular lock i already had at home.

Zipper broke completely off after second (!!) day of use. Returned to seller for full refund.

Large and looks like it will work. Haven’t used it yet
