I remember starting off working in a small 2-bedroom condo with Anisa and Tom, my sister and cousin who co-founded PulseTV. We bootstrapped this company from our very first shipment to making the Inc. 5000 list two years in a row. This month marked shipping our 10 millionth item from our various warehouses.”

While there are always challenges to face, our team from customer service to fulfillment has been able to scale operations and keep us growing profitably, something rather unusual in our sector.”

From Freestyle Solutions who provides our eCommerce and order management software,to the 150+ vendors that offer a steady supply of quality products which helps us to create genuine deals for our customers. They are all significant partners in whatever success we have achieved. We look forward to many more years of maintaining these working partnerships.”
