GPR stands for guaranteed packaged received. It is a way to achieve assurance from online shopping. It will have a huge impact to the people who usually have a hard time when receiving packages. People will receive an address perfect for their orders. Once an address is approved the person will have the opportunity how to receive their packaged which can be either delivery or pick up. Through the app, they have access to pick up their package whenever they want as long, they desire. It works also for people who tend to travel a lot who do not have a set schedule to have their packages delivered. This service comes with a $10 monthly fee and it can automatically connect to your email, so it grabs your orders quickly with no hassle. People will have the reinsurance of their package being delivered. There would be no more packages being turned away for wrong information. Unlike your Amazon Lockers or UPS Lockers, packages will be delivered to a secure home no matter the size and weight. Plenty of people will benefit from this app. Elderly people who unfortunately do not have help such as a helping aid can have the packages delivered to them. People who do not have a stable home, for example, those who are unfortunately are in shelters need a place to send their stuff. Then residents living in neighborhoods that do not have a doorman or theft is in occurrence. Due to COVID-19 plenty of people lost their job, one can even get paid for using their home as an address for people to deliver their packages and holding the packages or get paid to deliver the packages. During this pandemic the number of online shoppers rose to 60%. Everyone should get what they paid for no matter what, delivery Carriers have a tendency of damage packages or misplaced packages. According to a 2019 study by Cluth, plenty of people want to do online shopping but are scared of getting packages lost or damaged since that as well has rose to 51%. Then in the reading by Business Insider, New York City is one of the major cities that has 15% of online shopping packages that never make it to the shoppers. As well as 25 million dollars lost on goods and services. In the article by KENS 5, there is this thing called delivery schemes, in which people will go by as shipping carriers like FEDEX or UPS and text the person to notify them of their upcoming packages. In this case it is fake, FEDEX and UPS released a letter saying to no believe those text message it is just a new way to steal packages. I have found a similar website that does what GPR is delivering. It is called Manhattan Mail Room, where one pays a low as $30 for a mailbox per month but it is not available all the seven days of the week and it is only during business hours. Unlike Manhattan Mail Room all GPR just needs is an contact information and proof of identity no hassle for extra documents such as proof of address.
