What is 78 Brand doing to ensure the safety of their employees and customers?

We’re closely monitoring the COVID-19 situation and working tirelessly to serve the needs of businesses and individuals who are quickly adapting to new ways of life as we all pull together to curtail this outbreak. In response to the virus, we’ve implemented updated best practices in our workplace to help ensure the health and safety of our employees and customers.

In accordance with Illinois recent statewide stay-at-home order, most employees in our Chicago area headquarters are now working from home. We have temporarily limited on-site business operations to essential staff in our warehouses to ensure fulfillment and delivery of customer orders with minimal interruption, especially those relying on 78 Brand to deliver household staples, medical supplies and other necessities. These essential employees adhere to recommended hygiene and social distancing practices, and we’ve increased janitorial services to preserve a clean, healthy work environment.

These precautions are designed to ensure customer orders are picked, packed and shipped by healthy employees. Once a package leaves our warehouse, it’s entrusted to one of our shipping partners. A large percentage of these orders are delivered via UPS or the US Postal Service, both of which are taking steps to ensure the health of their employees and safe parcel delivery. UPS published its COVID-19 response here, while the USPS is following guidelines published by the CDC.

78 Brand and its fulfillment partners are pulling together to deliver the highest, healthiest level of service to our customers.
