Hi all 👋 We're super excited to launch this new product on top of the Bounce network 🏬 2️⃣ years ago we launched "luggage storage in local shops" on Product Hunt, and the community was great to us (lots of good comments & we were voted the #1 product of the day). 📈We've been expanding our network, serving tens of thousands of users, and getting feedback on how to make the product better. One use case that kept coming up was Package Acceptance - people wanted to be able to receive their online shipments to our storefront locations. Now with Bounce Package Acceptance, that is possible! 📦📦📦 THE PROBLEM: 90,000 packages go missing every single day in New York City alone (source: NYT). If you live in a big city in a building without a doorman, it is particularly difficult to receive your packages without issue. 🏬🏬🏬 THE SOLUTION: Ship your packages to a nearby Bounce location. Bounce is everywhere - in NYC alone, we have over 100 storefronts. Need a location somewhere that we're not yet available? Reach out to us. KEY FEATURES: 📦 Receive ALL your shipments in one easy location, even if they're from different carriers or merchants 📇 Get your unique Ship-To Address that you can use for all your package deliveries 🕓 No more waiting around for the delivery man to come, drop by your pickup location on your schedule ✍🏻 We can sign for packages on your behalf 💵 Well-priced options for subscriptions & one-offs 📳 Top-rated customer support (hopefully 24/7 again by the summer) 🏬 Support & get to know your neighborhood businesses SPECIAL PRODUCT HUNT OFFER: Lock in the monthly subscription price of $20 / month this week! We'll be hanging out here all day if you have any questions or feedback. 🎉 HEAR US LIVE TODAY ON CLUBHOUSE WHERE WE'LL BE DISCUSSING THIS AT NOON PST https://www.joinclubhouse.com/ev... 🎉

You're getting rid of one of my biggest fears - missing a package. That's the reason I don't usually order things online. Come to Canada!!

Awesome idea - would have saved me a lot of time & money reordering packages that disappeared from my last apartment's doorstep!

@bs2889 Yes, thanks Bryan! It seems everyone's had a package stolen -- many if you live in a big city!

Have been using this service all throughout their beta period and it is a much needed service in Lower Manhattan. Loving it so far. Looking forward to seeing growth.

@h_spencer_young Spencer is the REASON we built this at the time that we did! He paid us for the service before we even built it which prompted us to take it seriously. Thank you for your support Spencer, we can't wait to build this into a great business together!

I currently have a virtual mailbox for my letters. Bounce is the perfect compliment for packages! Unlike letters, i don't just want a digital scan, i want my stuffz! Excited to add an SF and NYC bounce address to my amazon account ;)

@brezina Yess; a fixed home where you get your mail, packages, etc may soon become a thing of the past for a segment of the population (like me!)

Hey everyone 👋 I'm part of the product development team for Bounce Package Acceptance. I'd be super happy to hear from you on any comments, issues, or suggestions you might have about the product. Thank you 🙏

I rent several UPS store boxes around the country for various reasons. This is a great idea as it could replace those for me. Do you all have plans on receiving USPS packages and letters?
Cody Candee
Maker
@john_russell1 We can receive packages from any carrier. As far as letters, this would have to be a separate product due to additional legal requirements. We *could* potentially add a virtual mailbox offering in the future for letters.

This is something everyone can use, and then use it again and again!!

Tushar Shahi
This is great work. When are you planning on extending this to other countries, say India. We could really use it here, since most of the population living here does not have doormen or receptions at their premise. Warning : You may have face a trademark issue https://apps.apple.com/in/app/bo... . haha :P

@tushar_shahi1 Hi Tushar - great question - I have actually lived in India myself and am familiar with the market. We don't yet have a specific timeline for expanding to India but we do plan to have truly global coverage in the future.

Say someone signs up for the per pkg rate, chooses a location and has their purchase sent there. How does Bounce remain involved in subsequent deliveries? I'm assuming that someone doesn't need to run every purchase on say, Amazon, through the Bounce portal. Couldn't that same someone then have countless deliveries sent to that location without Bounce being aware?
Cody Candee

@gregory_wehmeyer Hi Gregory - that is such a good question, I can't believe I didn't address this yet. With Bounce, you are signing up to get your Ship-To Address that you can keep using for multiple deliveries. When you use this address, stores check in a package through Bounce which notifies you to come pick it up. Even if you just buy the one-off $5 purchase, you can keep using that address and we can automatically bill you for subsequent shipments -- no need to go through the Bounce portal more than once!
Patti Flores
Great idea. Not any close to me but I was willing to travel the 45 min to have peace of mind that my packages were safe after some theft. However, communication is next to none. I have been waiting for a confirmation on capacity at the location I chose all week now. Would love to use the service but it’s a shame you have to wait days on end to get an answer or help.
Paulina Paiz
Hey! Love the idea and have been using it for a few months. Agree that should improve communication. I have not gotten a single package notification and the store is very sketchy.
