(All figures are in thousands)

Orders delivered represent the total number of orders delivered in any given period, including orders that may eventually be returned.

Overstockcom generates revenue mainly from retail business through their website when merchandise is sold and shipped to their customers. This revenue is recognized when ownership of the product passes to the customer, typically at the date of delivery of the merchandise. As such, customer orders are recorded as unearned revenue before the delivery of products or services ordered.

Overstockcom’s revenue increased 75% in 2020 compared to 2019, which was primarily due to increased retail product sales resulting from a 71% increase in customer orders, 111% new customer growth. This was even led by a strong repeat customer behavior, due to consumer migration toward online shopping in response to COVID-19 stay-at-home mandates.

For 2020, nearly all retail sales through Overstockcom’s website were from transactions in which they fulfilled orders through a network of approximately 3,000 third-party manufacturers, distributors, and other suppliers selling on their website. They even provide their partners, access to a large customer base and convenient services for order fulfillment, customer service, returns handling, and other services.

Overstockcom’s supply chain involves shipping directly to their customers from their suppliers or from their own warehouses. These warehouses primarily fulfill orders from direct sales of their partners’ owned inventory, including some customer returns of partner products. From here, orders are shipped at an average of 2,000 packages per day. During peak periods, approximately 3,200 packages are delivered per day. They even have a historical policy of free shipping on orders over $45. However, recently, they started providing free shipping on all orders, as an effective marketing tool, and they intend to continue to offer them as an overall marketing plan.

On a QoQ basis, the total orders delivered increased by 3.56%. However, on a YoY basis, there was a decline of 21.9% in the orders delivered. It is to be noted that both the statistic are for the quarter ended Q2 2021. Even in the most recent quarter, there was a decline of 13.89%.
