We are working through local and curbside pickup solutions for customers who have placed “Buy Online Pick Up in Store” orders, as well as those who have ordered major home fashions, and remain committed to getting our customers their orders as quickly as possible. Hudson’s Bay will continue to serve customers through its app, and on thebay.com.
