MBOX Smart Lockers are self-service lockers that are accessible 24/7, where users can pick up and drop off packages at their convenience. Packages are delivered and placed inside MBOX Smart Lockers by couriers, hence eliminating the need for face-to-face contact.

As soon as a package arrives, the locker sends an SMS text alert with a pickup code to the recipient.

"This pandemic has seen a record rise in deliveries and has highlighted the need for a contactless, efficient, and green delivery alternative. But beyond this, we believe that MBOX will improve Filipinos' online purchase experience and give buyers, couriers, and sellers a more convenient, efficient, and secure alternative for delivering and receiving packages,” said MerryMart and MBOX Chairman Edgar “Injap” Sia II.

“Smart lockers, for years now, have been used with great benefits overseas. In bringing this technology to the Philippines, we understood that localization and ease of use are key. We are proud to say that our software is locally developed, thus giving MBOX greater flexibility to integrate with partners and adapt to the unique needs of the Philippine market,” said MBOX CEO & President Ginger Co See.

For additional safety and security, MBOX lockers have built-in UV-light disinfection and CCTV cameras. “Packages are disinfected with UV light as soon as they are placed inside the locker. CCTV cameras capture and record package arrival and retrieval to ensure the safety and accountability of every package.

We believe MBOX Smart Lockers are the next disruptive technology that will capture the hearts of Filipino online shoppers,” said MBOX Head of Technology Fernando de Guzman II. The lockers seek to address online sellers’ and buyers’ pain points in first and last-mile delivery.

Instead of waiting for several buyers, a courier can now deliver multiple parcels to one secure location thereby saving time, reducing cost, and minimizing failed deliveries. Hosting an MBOX will not only modernize the property but also demonstrate added care by the building management to the people who occupy and reside in the building.
