I was reading this morning that Australia Post is expected to deliver a million more parcels to homes this Christmas compared to last year and they’ll increase their workload 24%.
It’s all to do with online shopping. People are switching to the convenience of buying from the comfort of their own home or office.
It makes sense to avoid the queues, save money, and have goods delivered directly to your door. It’s no wonder that online shopping has taken off over the last couple of years.
Have you done your Christmas shopping online this year? Did you buy everything online or just a few bits and pieces? If you haven’t been buying online, what’s the main thing that is holding you back?
Mind you, for blokes like me there’s still a long way to go before we embrace online shopping for Christmas gifts. I really can’t see them finding a way to allow us to shop on Christmas Eve and have the gifts delivered before Christmas.
