Internet top source for home-delivery orders
Over half of all home-delivery shoppers say they place orders online, compared to under a quarter two years ago. The findings come from a report by retail authority Verdict Research into the home-delivery business. The #37bn business has been in a state of steady decline despite booming sales through online and TV shopping. While Internet sales have increased 28.9%, they have been unable to counter the losses in the mail order and door-to-door sales sector.
