The company received a significant boost after lockdown measures forced millions of Americans to stay at home for several weeks of the year.

We encountered many challenges during 2020 to keep up with demand, including doubling our workforce in operations and customer service and keeping our people safe during the pandemic,” said chief executive Rich Bergsund. “We are grateful to all of our people and partners for the incredible job they did during a very challenging year.”
