Bricks and Mortar Bounce Back, Amazon Returns, 'Race-cations'

Available for over a year

In today's You and Yours, recent research from real estate consultancy Knight Frank has revealled the tide may be turning for physical stores. Investment in physical stores is up, retail vacancy rates are gradually improving and the rapid growth of online shopping is slowing down. We've discovered that some Amazon sellers are dumping returns on UK residential addresses rather than shipping them back abroad as we hear how one woman has been inundated with hundreds of Amazon returns with no way of stopping the deliveries from landing at her door. And while many people love to 'fly and flop' when they go on holiday, we have news of the growing trend of 'race-cations' as people combine marathons, triathlons and all manner of endurance sports with their holidays.
