Parcels on the rise

Ofcom's research into the needs of UK postal users made for very interesting reading today.

Our work in the retail sector certainly mirrors the findings that internet shopping is fuelling an increase in the number of parcels and packets that UK consumers are receiving.

The fact that half (51%) of consumers predict that they will be ordering more online in three years time and that, unsurprisingly, consumers want easier and more flexible ways to receive parcels and packets is one of the reasons we continue to invest in providing innovative and flexible delivery solutions for this sector.
