New statistics show retail industry predictions were out by one week as consumers become confident in retailers ability to meet delivery promises and more retailers offer voucher codes
London, UK – 12 December 2012 – VoucherComparison.com, the world's first comprehensive voucher and price comparison site which aggregates all 41 voucher networks, 21 daily deal sites and 19 cashback sites, has released statistics that show industry predictions for the UK’s busiest online shopping day were out by one week. The UK’s busiest online shopping day so far was Monday 10th December rather than Monday 3rd December as many predicted.
"We might attribute these statistics to the fact that consumers are becoming more and more comfortable with online shopping as their 'expectations' of late delivery - very much fuelled by the media over previous years - are largely subsiding with online retailers continuous improvements in logistics which are ensuring that last order for delivery promises are now actually met," comments Dominic Yacoubian, CEO, VoucherComparison.com.
"Added to this is the fact that consumers are becoming more and more savvy, realising that – just like traditional bricks and mortar retail - the later you leave ordering, the more discount you are likely to get, due to retailers clamouring to achieve peak season sales and meet targets and budgets. A visit to VoucherComparison.com – where you can not only find every single available voucher code on the web but can also compare prices on million of products and see if there are any deals available on your product of choice – is the ideal way to make the most of the busiest shopping season of the year."
