Keep Your Packages Secure This Christmas in Amarillo

It's about to start happening in Amarillo. If you haven't already started your Christmas shopping, it will be soon. You will run from store to store. You will load up your car and dread having to start wrapping all of those gifts.

Then it will happen. Something you need on the list is impossible to find. You have tried. You went to many stores, and you were sure they would have it. They didn't. So now what? You will go online and see if that can save the day.

That perfect Christmas gift you can't find anywhere else, you are now hunting for. So that means if you do find it, you will have to have it shipped to your house. Then you worry about how safe it is going to be. You may not be home when it is delivered. You may be out of town or just at work.

You wished you had that perfect porch that hid your deliveries behind a wall or something but you don't. So what can you do? How about having it delivered to the ultimate safe place for you to pick up?

Randall County Sheriff's Office already came out and said they were accepting deliveries at their location. Not so fast. That is not the only option. Heading to the Randall County Sheriff's Office may not be all that convenient for you.

You can have it shipped somewhere else. Recently, Potter County Sheriff's Office also offered the same holiday and year-round help. You can take advantage of it now with your holiday shopping, but they offer this service year-round.

Here is how it works: when placing your order, continue to use your name, but use their office address instead of your own:

YOUR NAME

Potter County Sheriff's Office

13103 NE 29th Ave, Amarillo TX 79111

You can then stop by between 8 am and 4 pm with your photo ID to claim your package. If you can't make it there by 4 pm, don't worry, all you have to do is call dispatch at 806-379-2900 to see if someone can assist you.

The holiday season is already stressful enough; you don't have to add porch pirates to the list of your worries.
