Best deals online

In a new survey carried out by Shopping.com, results showed that 80% of people

thought the best shopping deals were online.

Over of a third said they found it easier to part with money online with 15% admitting to spending more than £1,000 online for a single purchase. A huge 91% said they preferred online shopping to the high street.

The main reasons given for choosing to buy online were a dislike of queues (40%), and the greater choice of products online (41%).

Russ Carroll, UK Managing Director of Shopping.com, said: “The value offered by shopping online is borne out in our survey results. Comparison sites like Shopping.com ensure that customers are getting the best price available. It’s interesting to see that more than one in ten people have shopped using their mobile phone, a figure that will only grow as more and more people have smart phones with data included in their phone tariffs.”
