FlashBox

FlashBox is a Toronto same-day delivery company for merchants, founded in 2021 by Mehdi Nayebi and Mehrshad Pezeshk. Parcels uploaded before 1pm are delivered by 9pm the same day, and the company runs its own driver network rather than handing jobs to third-party carriers.

About

The founders built a point-to-point delivery business in Tehran from 2015, modelled on the motorcycle couriers of Southeast Asia, before moving to Canada and launching FlashBox in 2021. Merchants upload delivery addresses to a web dashboard — manually or via integration — and FlashBox handles the last mile with drivers it onboards itself. It has expanded from the Greater Toronto Area to Vancouver.

Quick answers

What does FlashBox do?

Same-day parcel delivery for merchants. They upload addresses to a dashboard and FlashBox's own drivers deliver across the GTA and Vancouver.

Who founded FlashBox?

Mehdi Nayebi and Mehrshad Pezeshk, in Toronto in 2021, after running a similar last-mile business in Tehran from 2015.

Why does FlashBox employ its own drivers?

Nayebi has said subcontracting to third-party carriers loses control of delivery quality, so the company onboards drivers directly.
