Online Shopping

 

Over 10% of all the UK retail sales are now made online, according to the Centre for Retail Research.  And in 2009 UK consumers spent £38bn online, an average of of over £1,100 per shopper. 

 

Shopping on the Internet is similar to browsing through a catalogue than heading down to your local high street. You use your computer to browse through sections showing you the various things you can buy.  Once you have decided what you want, it is usual pay by credit or debit card and to have the goods delivered to your home.

 

Nearly all the high street shops have Internet websites, so instead of visiting one of the stores, you can buy everything from the comfort of your home.

 

Nearly all the major chemists and supermarkets have Internet sites too.  This means you can order a whole range of every day products that you need for your home, without having to leave it!

 

There are also a large number of retailers who only sell online.  This gives you access to products and services that your local shops don't have.

 

In this digital age it is now possible to buy games, films and music, which you can download straight onto your computer.  And if you need to book a holiday, train travel or flights, you can do it all from home.
