Research by Citizen’s Advice shows parcels are going missing in the UK at the shocking rate of 10 every minute due to loss and theft.
In a single week, almost seven million people (13 percent of all UK adults) experienced a parcel issue and almost three million people (six percent of all UK adults) missed a parcel because they didn’t have time to get to the door. This figure rises to eight percent for people who are disabled or have a long term health condition and nine percent of parents with young children.
