Parcel delivery of consumer goods is set to rise this coming year as more than five million adults reveal they plan to increase their spending, as Britain edges out of recession.

The PayPal Online Retail Report 2010 reveals there to be a 20% drop in the number of people expecting to cut back on spending this year compared to 2009.

The study also cited the notion of Broadband Bargains, as more than 10 million people now shop online each week.

This figure is up 1.6 million from 2009, as the hunt for value continued to dominate shopping habits.

According to the research, a fifth - or 10.2 million - of us now shop online at least once a week with an extra 1.6 million becoming regular weekly online shoppers in the last year.
