CONNECTICUT — Prime Day is live through Friday — and with more packages on more porches, Amazon is offering a few simple tips to make sure deliveries go smoothly.

Here they are:

  1. Turn on delivery notifications — know exactly when packages arrive via the Amazon app or Map Tracking.
  2. Choose a secure spot — a side porch, a garage, or an Amazon Locker nearby.
  3. If you're not home, ask a neighbor to grab it.
