For postal and delivery companies though, COVID-19 caused a different trend. With the growing demand for COVID-19 vaccines and the e-commerce sector soaring like never before, the delivery sector is among the busiest these days. “We are working hard to satisfy the needs of the public,” said UPS spokesperson Dan McMackin. “We are delivering essential items; things people need to live their lives and run their businesses. We are delivering medicine and meal kits and so much more.” COVID-19 has massively accelerated the growth of e-commerce. According to data from the U.S. Commerce Department, consumers spent $199.44 billion online with U.S. retailers during the third quarter of 2020. This equaled an uptick of 37.1% from $145.47 billion for the same quarter the prior year. Nearly $1 in every $5 spent by consumers in Q3 came from online orders. [/QUOTE]
