Mountain View, Calif. Nov 30, 2012- We are excited to announce that BufferBox has been acquired by Google!

We have been able to achieve more than we could have ever imagined since we started working on our idea a couple years ago, and the team couldn’t be more excited about the future. As online shopping becomes a bigger part of how you buy products, we look forward to playing a part in bringing that experience to the next level. We are happy to share that it will be business as usual for our users and we are looking forward to continuing to build out the service.

It has been an incredible journey and we’d like to thank everyone who has played such an important part in enabling us to make it this far. We couldn’t be happier to be able to continue building out our vision within Google.

You experience this all too often - coming home to see a failed delivery notice on your door or your precious package left sitting in plain sight at your doorstep. Online shopping is supposed to be cost effective and time saving but parcel delivery makes it anything but that.

BufferBox makes rage-inspiring missed deliveries a thing of the past. Ship your goodies to our network of self-serve parcel pick-up stations and enter the PIN code you are emailed at the pick-up station at your convenience. A door will then magically pop open with your package.

After launching a very successful pilot in our own backyard at the University of Waterloo, we focused our efforts on rolling out a network of pick-up stations across the Greater Toronto Area.

We are now excited to share that we have been acquired by Google. We have a huge vision for this space and we couldn't be happier to be building it out within a fantastic organization.
