Package deliveries to multifamily housing and apartment buildings have increased yearly due to the rise of e-commerce and online shopping. Today, the increase in package deliveries presents unprecedented challenges for property managers and building owners tasked with managing the influx of packages and ensuring efficient delivery to residents.

According to a 2022 UPS report, the company sent 36.5 million packages per day and 25 billion per year. By contrast, according to Statista, in 2021 (most recently reported numbers), Amazon Logistics delivered approximately 4.75 billion packages in the United States. Statista also noted that in the fiscal year of 2022, the FedEx Ground segment of FedEx Corporation delivered just over three billion packages.

Vincent Cricco, portfolio manager, Rose Associates, New York City, tells GlobeSt.com that his two New York City locations, with 204 apartments, have been using separate rooms to store packages.
