About Instabee

Instabee was founded in 2022 through the merger of two fast-growing last-mile delivery companies: Budbee and Instabox. Together, we’re building a new standard for e-commerce logistics — one that’s faster, more flexible, and tailored to the needs of merchants and consumers alike. Instabee delivers millions of parcels each month across Europe. We work with thousands of e-commerce merchants and are rapidly becoming Europe’s leading delivery and logistics partner.

In the Netherlands, Budbee operates a rapidly growing network of smart parcel lockers, providing fast, convenient, and sustainable delivery solutions. We proudly partner with major retailers such as Albert Heijn, Bol.com, and H&M to make package pickup easier and more accessible for consumers across the country.
