Google Buys BufferBox, Could Hint At Same-Day Delivery Service

Google has been raking in money for years now, but it has also been spending a pretty penny, too. Some of that spending has been on various other companies, useful for bolstering its offerings in a hurry, and potentially in areas that it wouldn't enter itself otherwise. The latest pick up from Google is BufferBox, a Canadian company that could enable Google to rival Amazon's Locker services. 






Google isn't saying how much money it spent on the company, but in theory, Google will use the buy to offer around 100 kiosks in select Canadian cities to start. It could very well be the birth of a same-day delivery service from Google, and given just how integrated the company is becoming in shopping and search for shopping results, it seems like a natural step. Something tells us it won't be long before it spreads to other cities, and finally, Amazon Prime will have some real competition.

Hey there! I will be looking forward to visit your page again and for your other posts as well. Thank you for sharing your thoughts about same day delivery in your area. I am glad to stop by your site and know more about same day delivery. Keep it up! This is a good read.
Many companies who operate under a Just-In-Time or "JIT" inventory method often utilise on-board couriers. On-board couriers are individuals who can travel at a moment's notice anywhere in the world, usually via commercial airlines. While this type of service is the second costliest—general aviation charters are far more expensive—companies analyze the cost of service to engage an on-board courier versus the "cost" the company will realise should the product not arrive by a specified time (i.e. an assembly line stopping, untimely court filing, lost sales from product or components missing a delivery deadline, organ transplants).
They can handle it through agents and will charge you a prodigious fee to provide the service, and then they will call Airport Courier, or other same day delivery companies to get the job done.
