Australia Post is ramping up its parcel delivery services in expectations of a big increase in online shopping in November. The annual Click Frenzy event has signalled the start of the anticipated surge in online sales in the lead-up to Christmas. The Australian Retailers Association has forecast that the upcoming Black Friday and Cyber Monday events will generate some $5.4bn worth of retail sales in just four days. Roy Morgan CEO Michele Levine says the recent ending of COVID-19 lockdowns in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra is likely to see retail spending in November either match or exceed the record levels of 2020.
