Some 36% of shoppers are prepared to risk giving someone they don’t know well the keys to their house in order to avoid missing a shopping delivery, according to new research.
The study, conducted by Censuswide on behalf of eBay-owned delivery company Shutl, also showed 9% of people have pretended to be sick in order to wait in for a Christmas delivery, compared to 5% last year. Company directors are apparently the worst sick-day offenders with 29% admitting to pulling a sickie in the past in order to wait for a delivery.
