Dude, Where's My Package?

As we head full-tilt into the holiday season, complete with lots of gift buying and Black Friday madness, it's important to keep track of our packages. Many of us are buying so many things, that it's hard to keep track of what we have coming, but you don't want to make the mistake of relying on carrier services to follow through. There are plenty of lost package incidents to be aware of — not to mention porch pirates — and some states are more prone than others. 


Location intelligence experts Logate analyzed Google searches in every state, dialing in on search terms like "lost package" and related phrases to determine which states seem to have more lost packages than others.


Here are the states where your packages are most likely to end up in some sort of courier abyss.
