The latest post on ‘ReadWrite’ is titled “Google Buys BufferBox To Match Amazon’s Locker For Convenient Shipping”.

Jon Mitchell says, “Google has acquired Canadian parcel delivery start-up BufferBox Friday for an undisclosed sum. BufferBox is like a PIN-protected P.O. box for packages that solves the problem of missed deliveries. It’s a service that mirrors the Locker service Amazon began offering earlier this month. Google’s acquisition of BufferBox signals that it’s serious about going head to head with Amazon on retail.

“We’re not going to go into great detail about our future plans,” Google Waterloo engineering director Steve Woods told Financial Post, “but we think there’s a real exciting space beyond this amazing start with boxes, and the idea of touching consumers as part of their end-to-end experience is something we’re going to explore together.””.
