摘要

Online shopping is without a doubt the biggest trend to have impacted the retail supply chain in recent times. Consumer online shopping habits are showing no sign of slowing up and 2013 alone was highlighted by a massive rise in Australian domestic online shopping. This was reflected in an Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) report that showed a growth in online retail turnover from $358.9 million in March 2013 to $439.7 million in October 2013.
