Safely shop online during the coronavirus outbreak
Our primary concern is the health and well-being of our teammates, consumers, partners and communities. We believe our role is critical during this challenging time and we want to make sure our customers can get the items they need, when they need them. With the spread of COVID-19, we’ve recently seen an increase in people shopping online which has had an impact on how we serve our customers, but we are working around the clock with our selling partners to ensure availability of essential products, and to continue to bring on additional capacity to deliver. We have taken precautionary measures internally and externally and made contingency plans that we will continue to assess as the situation changes in each market.
