RedBox Celebrates 10 Million Deliveries and Unveils Ambitious Expansion Plans Across Saudi Arabia and Beyond
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – 07 July 2025: RedBox, the leading smart package delivery solutions provider in Saudi Arabia, has proudly announced the successful delivery of over 10 million parcels, marking a major milestone in its mission to redefine the last-mile experience through innovation and technology. Founded in 2019, RedBox has rapidly grown into Saudi Arabia's largest smart delivery points network, operating over 1,800 delivery points, including smart lockers and direct pickup counters across 81 cities. With plans to double this figure to 3,000 lockers by the end of 2025, the company is solidifying its role as a critical enabler of digital logistics in the Kingdom. Thamer Al-Tuwaiyan, CEO of RedBox, stated: 'This milestone reflects the trust of our customers and partners, and the efforts of a talented team driven by innovation and excellence. RedBox is more than a logistics company, it's a platform empowering the digital economy and supports the goals of Vision 2030, launched by His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, focusing on digital transformation and sustainability as essential pillars of the Kingdom's prosperous future.' This milestone is also in line with the Kingdom's ongoing efforts under the National Industrial Development and Logistics Program (NIDLP) — one of the key Vision 2030 programs. NIDLP aims to transform Saudi Arabia into a global logistics hub and an industrial powerhouse by integrating and developing the sectors of industry, mining, energy, and logistics. As a national player in the smart delivery ecosystem, RedBox actively contributes to realizing these ambitions through its innovative, sustainable last-mile delivery solutions. RedBox's unique value proposition lies in its smart and technology-driven solutions, 24/7 accessible smart locker solutions that provide contactless, flexible parcel delivery eliminating the frustration of missed deliveries for both customers and couriers. RedBox also provides its solutions at competitive rates, which makes its services affordable for a wide segment of users. This efficiency is also eco-conscious: RedBox has achieved up to 75% reduction in last-mile emissions through consolidated drop-offs and optimized delivery routes. RedBox collaborates with top e-commerce platforms and logistics providers, including Noon, IHerb, NiceOne, Temu, DHL, Aramex, Al Majed for Oud, and Brands for Less, making it a trusted partner in Saudi Arabia's growing digital commerce ecosystem. In 2025 alone, RedBox expanded into 35 new cities, with a clear vision to achieve full national coverage. The company is also gearing up for regional expansion, with Bahrain, the UAE and Gulf countries as the next target markets, replicating its successful Saudi model to address growing demand for smart logistics in the wider GCC and MENA regions. Altuwaiyan added: 'Over the next five years, we aim to expand our network to over 10,000 lockers across the region, introduce real-time locker-to-locker transfer capabilities, and become the preferred last-mile delivery partner for e-commerce and retail brands across the MENA region'. Altuwaiyan explained that the company also aims to double its shipment volume, which stands at 10 million, over the next three years by accelerating the rollout of safes, deepening their market reach, and expanding into new sectors and geographies. With over 1,800 retail partners and host locations, RedBox continues to invest heavily in R&D, digital infrastructure, and Saudi talent, reinforcing its leadership in smart logistics and its alignment with Vision 2030's pillars of innovation and sustainability under the leadership of His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister. By replacing traditional door-to-door delivery with smart lockers, RedBox is not only revolutionizing convenience but also helping eliminate millions of kilometers in courier travel, contributing to cleaner, less congested cities and a smarter, more sustainable logistics future.

Workaholic King ‘won't slow down or do what he's told', says Camilla
The King is known for being a workaholic, and even the Queen said after his cancer diagnosis that he 'won't slow down and won't do what he's told'. Camilla told author Lee Child at her Reading Room literary festival last year that her husband was 'doing fine' but was not heeding her advice. On Thursday, the King 'required a short period of observation in hospital' after experiencing side effects from his cancer treatment. A busy away day to Birmingham has been cancelled, and his diary could be altered next week, after his medical team advised the King it would be wiser to postpone his engagements as a precautionary measure. But a hectic state visit to Italy in just 10 days' time is said to be going ahead. Following his return from hospital to Clarence House, Charles was said to be working on state papers and making calls from his study on Thursday evening. When the monarch underwent a procedure on an enlarged prostate before being diagnosed with cancer last year, his wife urged him to slow down and reduce his workload. But his nephew Peter Phillips said the King was 'frustrated' that his recovery after cancer treatment was taking longer than he wanted, and that he was 'pushing' his staff to return to his duties. He returned to public-facing events in April. Camilla has described Charles, now 76 as 'not one for chilling'. The Duke of Sussex once recalled how his father would sometimes fall asleep at his desk and wake up with a piece of paper stuck to his face. And Lady Sophie Windsor revealed: 'You see how he works all day long, has a quick supper and then disappears until about 4am to write letters. He cares about so many things and he comes up with brilliant solutions.' The King is only less than three years into his reign. He was the longest serving heir to the throne in British history, and faced the formidable task of succeeding his much-revered mother the late Queen Elizabeth II in 2022. His cancer diagnosis early in 2024 marked the start of what his eldest son the Prince of Wales described as the most 'brutal' year with the Princess of Wales also being diagnosed with cancer. The King has had a busy run of engagements in the past few weeks including high-profile diplomatic audiences with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, a three-day trip to Northern Ireland and packed Palace receptions, amid preparations for the tour to Italy. An early riser, he usually begins each day with a brisk 11-minute military workout of five basic exercises used by the Canadian air force to keep fit, and after a healthy breakfast, has his first meeting between 8.30am and 9am. His diary often includes meetings and audiences, or a day out for official visits. The King skips lunch but does take a break for a walk if possible. He will also go through his red boxes, containing official and state papers, and have afternoon tea at around 5pm, before resuming work. His Majesty The King's Red Box 🧰 The Red Box contains papers from government ministers in the UK and the Realms and from representatives from the Commonwealth and beyond. The documents are sent from the Private Secretary's Office to The King, wherever he may be in residence. — The Royal Family (@RoyalFamily) September 24, 2022 After supper in the evening, the King usually works late into the night, and sometimes into the early hours writing letters. He sees letter-writing as a therapeutic exercise. He prefers BBC Radio 4 to the television, which Camilla watches in the evening to unwind. Any rare, spare time is devoted to gardening, or listening to classical music and opera, with his medical team no doubt now urging him to rest as much as possible.

John Mulaney jokingly measures expectations for his Netflix talk show: ‘We will never be relevant'
After an uproarious and Emmy-winning run of 'John Mulaney Presents: Everybody's in L.A.,' the comedian will soon be back with more. Mulroney announced this week that new episodes of his live talk show for Netflix, set to debut in March, will be titled, 'Everybody's Live in L.A. with John Mulaney.' Billed by the streamer as a 'live variety talk show,' the series will air weekly for 12 consecutive installments. 'We will be live globally with no delay. We will never be relevant. We will never be your source for news,' Mulaney joked at a media preview in Hollywood on Wednesday. 'We will always be reckless. Netflix will always provide us with data that we will ignore.' 'This is a really fun experiment. Not since Harry and Meghan has Netflix given more money to someone without a specific plan,' he added, referencing Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, who have a production deal with the streamer. 'Everybody's Live in L.A.' follows Mulaney's six-episode 'Everybody's in L.A.' live talk show that was presented as part of the Netflix is a Joke festival last year. That project won a Primetime Emmy for outstanding picture editing for variety programming. Mulaney is no stranger to being a big Netflix draw. He has had three stand-up specials on the platform: 2015's 'The Comeback Kid,' 2018's 'Kid Gorgeous at Radio City' and 'John Mulaney: Baby J' in 2018. The latter two earned Emmys for outstanding writing for a variety special. 'I have to say of all the DVD mail-order businesses that pivoted, I think Netflix is in the top one or two, Red Box being a close second,' Mulaney joked at the event. 'Red Box actually offered me more money to do a show, but I told them to stick it. I'm a Netflix guy. I'm not going to premiere in front of supermarkets no matter how much you offer me.' Tina Fey was also on hand at the Netflix presentation in support of her upcoming limited series, 'The Four Seasons.' Based on Alan Alda's 1981 comedy film of the same name, the show will see Fey once again team up with her 'Date Night' costar Steve Carell, along with Will Forte and Colman Domingo. The series will follow three couples who vacation together in different locales, marking their evolution but never showing them at home or at work, Fey specified. 'We just see how their lives change over a year by hanging out with them on vacation,' she said. 'No one is a vampire, and spoiler alert, there are zero murders,' Fey added, the latter likely a reference to hit vacation-centric whodunnit series 'The White Lotus.' 'Everybody's Live in L.A. with John Mulaney' debuts on Netflix March 12. 'The Four Seasons' does not yet have a premiere date.
