More Australians are shopping online than ever, with total purchases topping $21 billion for the first time, according to new research from Australia Post.
Australia Post recently released its annual Inside Australian Online Shopping Report revealing Bunbury shoppers were buying 18.4 per cent more online than in 2016.
Australia Post parcels and express services general manager Ben Franzi said Bunbury residents were avid online shoppers.
“Locals are big buyers of fashion, with purchases rising 28.1 per cent,” he said.
“Women’s fashion is particularly popular, they also really love buying health and beauty products, with purchases up 8.4 per cent.
“Bunbury residents also enjoy shopping from online variety stores such as Kogan, Catch and Target, with purchases rising 33.6 per cent.”
Mr Franzi said the main reason people chose to shop online was for price, range and convenience.
“Online shopping gives people access to retailers all over Australia and beyond, and the choice to shop at a time that suits their needs,” he said.
