FREMONT, CA: USPack, a national leader in the same-day, final-mile delivery, and a NewSpring Holdings platform company, is improving its operational capabilities to help its large retail supply chain partners like The Home Depot, H&M, Wayfair, and DHL prepare for a holiday peak shipping season. The company intends to nearly double its network capacity across all retail service lines to meet its customers' requirements because of the anticipated massive spike in volume.
"We've been adapting to a 'new normal' of higher volume across all retail service lines since March, driven by the COVID-induced shift to online shopping. Our year-over-year delivery volumes are consistently between 50-75 percent higher each month," stated Mark Glazman, CEO, USPack. "Our customers are telling us that in addition to this new, higher baseline, this year's Q4 volume increase will even be much greater, is starting sooner, and likely will last much longer than prior years." The company's experience thus far aligns with market research. Deloitte recently forecasted that online holiday sales will grow 25-35 percent during the 2020 season, compared to 13.6 percent growth in 2019.

"Without a doubt, putting our robust technology in the hands of leading retail companies and having daily visibility into operational performance and capacity opportunities has been the key to our success and has enabled us to adapt and grow with our customers," stated Glazman.
