The Christmas spending spree truly kicked off last Friday with an estimated 25 million shoppers going online to buy Christmas presents, as a estimated £36.5billion month of shopping gets started. With Black Friday’s manic spending sprees, riots and clashes over discounted TV’s and electrical goods coming to a close on Cyber Monday, internet industry body IMRG predicts £451,000 is likely to be spent every minute on retailers’ websites, resulting in almost £650m of sales on Cyber Monday.

Police blocks almost 300 pirate-sites

Police forces across Europe have seized 292 web domains that were being used to sell counterfeit goods. The websites were selling luxury goods as well as sportswear, electronics, pharmaceuticals and pirated goods like movies and music. Visitors who were trying to reach the sites will now be shown a page that will inform them on copyright crime. No arrests were made during the operation but it is possible that arrests would be made soon - using the site closures as a means to track down those responsible for the physical counterfeiting of goods.

Sony develops e-paper smartwatch

Sony has developed a watch made from e-paper as part of an initiative to experiment with the use of the material for fashion products. The Fes Watch has a minimalist, monochrome design but falls short of the features offered by smartwatches and the battery of the e-paper watch could last far longer with an estimated 60 days of use. The watch face and straps have an e-paper display - comparable to the technology used in e-book readers such as Amazon's Kindle. It means the watch can alternate between several different styles of watch face and strap design.

The Delivery Conference (3rd February)

Metapack have organised this event for 6 years now and we have seen it grow into what it is today.

That last event was a huge success with over 1000 delegates attending and 66% of delegates being retailers. From those 1000 delegates 60% of them are in fact decision makers.

The event consists of a conference, exhibition and awards.

Two conference streams,

Delivery Innovation - a platform for the carrier and postal industry to present their latest innovations and developments.

Online Strategy - a forum for top retailers from across Europe to discuss their strategy for keeping pace with consumer demand and lessons learned along the way.

In between break-out sessions you will have the opportunity to check out the exhibitors and see what they have to offer. We have exhibitors such as Hermes, Parcelforce Worldwide, Citysprint, Royal Mail and more.

You will hear from speakers across Europe such as Ocado, Groupon, Zappos, Carphone Warehouse and more

At the end of the day you can enjoy networking over a few drinks and enjoy our very own awards ceremony: The Delivery Excellence Awards.
