People want more choice, they want more convenience, and they want better control as to when they want to receive their parcel. Offering on other day when most people aren't working is obviously a good way of achieving that.

 

 

The retailers are already used to serving customers right throughout the weekend but believed shoppers will like the novelty of buying those weekend treats receiving them on Sunday without even leaving home.

 

 

We offer the service on our website from Thursday. It's been apathetic products: the hampers, tea, but also some items that probably are used on Sunday: the condiments to go with picnics and Sunday lunch.

 

 

It won't be just luxury products that will come in extra cost. Morg Stedmans spent 12 pounds just on delivery charges. He knows not every will be prepared to pay.

 

 

Usually, work in London pretty late. But tend to get delivery somewhere else and pick up when I can, so Sunday delivery is pretty helpful.

 

 

And what were you ordering this time?

 

 

My sister's birthday present, all worn off, living, so, they were surprise.

 

 

Parcelforce is not the only one trying to keep up with our shopping habits. Some companies have trailed aerial drones to make deliveries while others are putting drop boxes at train stations for commuters to collect their parcels. With 51% of Royal Mails business now in packages, they can't be left behind.

 

 

Perhaps it's being perceived and the parcels have been a bit slippy not as one of that can come forth and can confirms with it's coming to the parcels market in particular. Then this is about ....

 

 

But with Sunday deliveries still a premium service. Success surely depends on how desperate people are to receive that latest purchase.
