But this year looks a lot different. For weeks now, retailers supply chains have been strained and backlogs in warehouses have been building, as e-commerce sales surge year over year, and companies rush to adjust their workforces to meet the unprecedented demand. Carries like UPS and FedEx have been working around the clock to try to deliver packages on time. But now, they ve also been tasked with prioritizing and tracking shipments of the coronavirus vaccine.
