BRITS spent an incredible £19million an hour over the internet yesterday on
Cyber Monday - the biggest online shopping day of the year.
The total outlay was a remarkable £456million in just 24 hours, with sales
peaking between 1pm and 2pm when office staff logged on during their lunch
breaks.
Shoppers spent 14 per cent more than last year and many online stores had
one-day sales to entice customers.
The biggest selling items were the Kindle, Apple iPad 2, iPod Touch, Harry
Potter DVDs and Lego.
Argos dubbed the day Mobile Monday as it was their busiest day of the year for
shopping via smart phones and ipads, with more than 200,000 items reserved
online.
The Centre for Retail Research predict £1.64billion of shopping will be done on
mobiles this Christmas.
Staff at Amazon's huge warehouse in Milton Keynes also worked flat out
yesterday to deal with more than 2.3million orders.
The warehouse, which has a roof the size of eight football pitches and 1000
staff, had huge numbers of orders for the concluding part of Harry Potter,
cookery books and board games such as Twister, Scrabble and Monopoly.
Their best-selling toys included Moshi Monsters and Harry Potter Lego.
