Traditional High Street shopping might still be the time-honoured and traditional method of filling the Christmas stockings but the IT way is fast catching up.
Now that the festive season is in full swing, online retailers are already looking likely to enjoy one of their biggest Christmas seasons yet.
Royal Mail predicts it will deliver a record 120 million items ordered online this festive season – double the number handled just three years ago.
The UK’s 27 million online shoppers are expected to spend £15 billion online in the run up to Christmas, up 60% on last year.
To meet demand, Royal Mail has been working with internet retailers to plan for the rush for Christmas presents and to ensure it delivers a high level of service.
Meanwhile, Royal Mail has also urged people to postcode their festive greetings carefully.
Millions of people are expected to sit down this week to start writing their Christmas cards to friends and family.
