Sales More Stressful Than Moving House |

A survey suggests that millions of us find traipsing round the shops more stressful than moving house. Of those questioned, 69 per cent dislike the crowds, while some 60 per cent become frustrated that they cannot find what they're looking for because shops are so 'untidy'. Almost half of us (47 per cent) cannot stand queueing for fitting rooms and checkouts. No wonder then that of those questioned in the research for website showroomprive.co.uk, five per cent - equal to 2.5 million people - said braving the sales was worse than buying a new home. Sixteen per cent even said they would prefer a trip to the dentist. Many of these may be likely to stay indoors and do their shopping on the internet - and a second survey suggests they will be doing most of it tomorrow. Dubbed Mega Monday, the day is expected to be the busiest online shopping day of the year as millions scour the internet for Christmas bargains and gifts. Sales are expected to reach ?424 million over the course of the day, or nearly ?300,000 a minute. Shopping comparison website Kelkoo says people are stocking up early because extreme weather caused a backlog of deliveries of online orders last December. | ||||||
