Are Traditional Mailboxes Failing Your Building? Here’s How Smart Lockers Are Changing the Game

Ever had that mini heart attack when you get a delivery notification, but your package is nowhere to be found? Maybe it was left at the wrong door, maybe it got swiped by a “porch pirate,” or maybe—just maybe—it’s buried under a mountain of other residents’ boxes in your building’s cluttered mailroom.

If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. The rise of e-commerce means more deliveries than ever before, and traditional mailrooms and front desks simply can’t keep up.

But what if every package you received was safe, secure, and waiting for you 24/7—without the hassle? That’s exactly what Mail&Parcel by Bob IoT does.
