Google's BufferBox Expands Its Shipping Kiosk Service For Parcel Pickups To San Francisco
Last year, Google acquired Waterloo-based startup BufferBox, which provides shipping locker service to make it easy to get things delivered reliably even when youâre not sure where youâll be when theyâre arriving. The startup built its service on the idea that people never want to see another missed delivery door tag ever again, and began rolling out availability in Toronto, a big consumer market near its HQ last year.
BufferBox is now venturing further afield (as teased earlier this year), with a program expansion in San Francisco that takes its kiosk service closer to Googleâs home territory. The BufferBox model allows local businesses to essentially become a substitute post office, receiving packages on behalf of BufferBox users during business hours when theyâre guaranteed to have someone on staff to accept delivery. Members then get an email notification as soon as the package as delivered so they know when to go to the local business and grab it.
In SF, BufferBox locations include Dogpatch Cafe, Coffee Bar, Noe Hill Market, 7-Eleven, Mission: Comics and Art and more. The service is also tied to Googleâs recent Shopping Express service expansion, which allows people in the SF area to get their packages on the same day they place their order.
This marks the first sign of new market expansion since the acquisition of BufferBox last year, which cost the search giant a reported $ 17 million. At the time, Google said its motivation in acquiring the startup was to help âremove as much friction as possible from the shopping experience, while helping consumers save time and money.â Paired with its same-day service, the BufferBox experience definitely contributes to that ultimate goal, by making shopping online as easy as popping down to the coffee shop on the corner on your way home from work.
Googleâs BufferBox business competes in many ways with Amazonâs Locker pick-up service, but the Google version now going live in SF tweaks the model by having humans handle package acceptance, and it has the added benefit of driving foot traffic to local stores. Google is taking its time with the rollout, however, which usually means thereâs a lot to work out with the economics of the model before scaling it to any kind of wide coverage. BufferBox says to expect more integration, and more geographic expansion in the future, however.

BufferBox - Great new business acquired by Google
  Parcel storage system firm Bufferbox is Google's latest acquisition. The Canadian firm, which acts as a physical drop box, posted the news on its blog on Friday afternoon. The move is an attempt to make up some of the ground with Amazon, which has been rolling out its delivery lockers in Seattle, Washington D.C., London, and NY this year.
As ever, Google isn't commenting on the purchase, but Bufferbox, which has plans to launch 100 lockers in and around Toronto and Hamilton, merely says that it's happy "to continue building out our vision within Google."
HDTS is featured in Transport Intelligence's North America eCommerce Logistics 2012 Research Report along with a fellow Y Combinator companies Bufferbox, Stripe, and WePay. Pretty good stuff. Here's a quote:
HD Trade Services...is a B2B online platform that targets small- to medium-sized business. The platform is based primarily on cloud and mobile computing and provides secure marketplace in which to conduct transactions.
The company developed inspection technology which allows users buying goods to route their shipments through a network of HDTS Certified Inspection Locations. These HDTS Certified Inspection Locations are 3PL providers that specialize in handling high value goods. Customers can then verify their goods via streaming video. Also, HDâs tablet application allows for receipt and release of inventory and view on-hand inventory and warehouse activity in real-time.Â

Google Acquired âBufferBoxâ, an Ecommerce Delivery Service
Google Inc., the search engine giant located in California have acquired BufferBox, an ecommerce service that deliver ecommerce goods to physical kiosks.
Google didnât elaborated much in an email statement that explained about the acquisition â âWe want to remove as much friction as possible from the shopping experience, while helping consumers save time and money, and we think the BufferBox team has a lot of great ideas around how to do that,â
The terms of the deal were also kept under wraps. BufferBox, based in Waterloo, Ontario provides ecommerce shoppers to pick up the goods at any time in the Toronto area â as per the website.
Google is mobilizing its ecommerce efforts since last year, when they had said that they would revamp their product search feature into a premium model for US that would make the retailers pay for space on Google Shopping Service. Last month, Google came up with new enhancements including enhanced images of some toys and shopping lists compilation in new ways.
Aditya Bali, Co-founder of BufferBox, had mentioned in August 2012 about the talks they were having with top-tier venture capital firms to raise money. He also had said that the company wasnât desperate for money; however the founding could help them âmove fasterâ.
âAs 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,â the company posted in their blog.
BufferBox: How it works ... TheBufferBox
Google buys BufferBox, might give Amazon Locker a run for its money
 Google has just snapped up BufferBox, a Waterloo, Ontario-based startup that offers temporary lockers for online purchases much like the ones recently deployed by Amazon. Instead of 7-Elevens and RadioShacks however, the relatively young startup has only just started a deal to install parcel kiosks in Canada's Metrolinx GO Transit stations. The Mountain View company hopes to keep BufferBox alive through the acquisition, with plans for 100 kiosks in Greater Toronto and Hamilton in the next year. Of course, we can't help but think this could all be part of Google's master plan for a rumored same-day delivery service that might make Amazon a touch nervous. Hopefully this means future Nexus deliveries will be a just little faster, eh?
