According to Australia Post, Australians "shopped up a storm last year," driving a 57% increase in eCommerce compared to the previous year.
"Australians spent an incredible $50.5 billion online last year, and eCommerce accounted for 16.3% of total retail spend, Australia Post GM parcel and express services Ben Franzi said.
"Almost nine million households across the country bought something online as people shopped for the things they needed, avoiding large shopping centres and other busy retail settings.
"More than 1.3 million of these households were first-time shoppers with 93% of their initial purchases made between March and December," he said.
