Web bargains available on Christmas day
Monday 24 December 2007
Many online bargains will be available from Christmas day as retailers launch sales via their websites. Electrical goods are forecast to be the most popular online purchases, with Comet expecting buys after Christmas dinner at 3pm until a peak at 9pm.
Simon Rigby, head of direct channels at Comet, said: "It really seems that, regardless of the family get-together, people are keen to bag themselves a bargain ahead of the Boxing Day rush."
Other companies launching their online sales on Christmas Day include PC World, Currys, Argos and Marks & Spencer.
The
Post Office Broadband predicts that on Christmas Day around 60% of the UK population will go online.
