Black Friday is almost upon us, as is Cyber Monday, during which UK consumers are set to spend over £1.3bn doing online shopping.

With advancements in technology, many consumers no longer need to leave the comfort of home to go shopping. Falling broadband costs and increasing usage of handheld devices, along with the many online savings to be made have diminished the need to go out to the high street to shop. In fact, according to a recent survey[1], a fifth (20%) of Brits now spend more on items purchased online than they do in store, while recent predictions in the US suggest that by 2017 10% of all sales will be made online, with mobiles devices accounting for 25% of those retail sales[2].
