(Photo by Jenny Callison) The predictions have come true: early this fall, retail analysts foresaw that this year’s pandemic restrictions would drive even more holiday shoppers online, and that more gifts would be exchanged remotely as many families and friends gather virtually rather than in person.   All of which means that shippers are deluged with cards and packages, with online orders and purchased gifts filling trucks and delivery vans. Victor Allen saw the deluge coming.

His business is up between 35% and 40% over a typical holiday season, he said Wednesday.
