Libb loves ordering books, e.g. he ordered 945 books from Amazon between 2002 and 2015, which is from where the “idea” for a package-friendly theft-proof "smart" mailbox company arose.

In the early 2000s, amid the wake of the launch of Amazon (1995), American engineer Libb Thims, an aspiring author, began increasingly ordering books, during which time, package theft became problematic. A monthly-rental post office box was used as a temporary, albeit costly patch solution. UPS and other packages, however, sometimes required driving to those facilities for package pickup.
In 2003, Thims conceived “Mail Cubes”, as a working company, in the "idea" stage, amid a stealing spree when seven packages were stolen at once, making draft design notes of a cube-shaped, large-sized mailbox like receptacle able to accept both mail and packages, e.g. Amazon, and deliveries, e.g. Peapod, securely and automatically, using smart computer technology, e.g. text messaging, when the resident is not at home.
In the early 2010s, neighbors and friends began approaching Thims to make MailCubes for their homes. Thims, however, was too heavily involved in university lecturing, researching, and the writing of his 10-volume Hmolpedia (completed in Mar 2016), to be able to engage into the Mail Cube project.

On 11 Oct 2009, MailCubes.com was registered with GoDaddy. This year, Thims began building and testing working models of a packing-receiving mailbox, with text message notification, at his home.
In May 2016, Thims hired MailCubes first employee and began to launch MailCubes.com as a working company, in Chicago.
