BOLTON, ENGLAND, November 23, 2011 (Press-News.org) Britain's leading online parcel delivery specialist Parcel2Go has reminded shoppers looking for great deals on their Christmas presents this year to remember to capitalise on Black Friday on November 25.
The annual event, which marks the start of the Christmas shopping rush in America, is designed to inspire US consumers and get the tills ringing at the start of the festive season. But thanks to the internet, next week's shopping bonanza won't be restricted to people living in the United States.
Amazon UK is one retailer that is joining in to bring British shoppers deals on a range of goods from books and music to fashion and beauty products, and Parcel2Go has reminded people not to miss out. Amazon will be offering timed deals between Monday, November 21 and Black Friday on the 25th.
Richard Mercer, marketing director at Parcel2Go, said: "Black Friday might have begun as a US tradition but deal-conscious shoppers from the UK now have the chance to beat the Christmas rush and grab themselves a few bargains.
"Online shopping has completely revolutionised the way people buy presents at Christmas and as long as people make sure that their gifts are being shipped with leading couriers then buying online is a great way to avoid the queues at the tills. There are sure to be plenty of Black Friday deals to be had next week and by choosing to send presents to friends and relatives using Parcel2Go, shoppers will be able to save even more money."
Anyone thinking of ordering goods from American businesses on Black Friday might find that some retailers will only ship to US addresses. Parcel2Go offers customers the opportunity to rent an American address and have goods forwarded to Europe with professional couriers such as DHL and FedEx, so buying direct from the US is no problem at all.
Richard added: "The US address rental service has become incredibly popular and we'd expect to see an increase in demand from European consumers as Black Friday draws closer."

Babies who eat fish before 9 months are less likely to suffer pre-school wheeze
2011-11-23
Children who started eating fish before nine months of age are less likely to suffer from pre-school wheeze, but face a higher risk if they were treated with broad spectrum antibiotics in the first week of life or their mother took paracetamol during pregnancy. Those are the key findings from a large-scale Swedish study published in the December issue of Acta Paediatrica.
Researchers analysed responses from 4,171 randomly selected families, who answered questions when their child was six months, 12 months and four-and-a-half years of age.
"Recurrent wheeze is a very ...
First study to reveal how paracetamol works could lead to less harmful pain relief medicines
2011-11-23
Researchers at King's College London have discovered how one of the most common household painkillers works, which could pave the way for less harmful pain relief medications to be developed in the future.
Paracetamol, often known in the US and Asia as acetaminophen, is a widely-used analgesic (painkiller) and the main ingredient in everyday medications such as cold and flu remedies. Although discovered in the 1890s and marketed as a painkiller since the 1950s, exactly how it relieves pain was unknown.
This study, funded by the UK Medical Research Council (MRC) ...
Drug laws fail to protect children
2011-11-23
Amsterdam -- "Would legal regulation and control of drugs better protect children?" is a question posed by former President of Brazil, Fernando Henrique Cardoso in an editorial to be published in the January issue of Elsevier's International Journal of Drug Policy (IJDP).
The editorial, "Children and drug law reform" follows the March 2011 report of the Global Commission on Drug Policy, chaired by Cardoso, which made a series of recommendations for reforms of drug laws, including experiments with legal regulation and control.
"If we believe that the best interests ...
Chemical weapon in spider silk repels ant attack: New study
2011-11-23
Researchers have shown for the first time how Golden orb web spiders (Nephila antipodiana) add a chemical to their web silk to repel invading ants.
The finding adds a chemical defense to the impressive properties of spider silk, already known to be very strong, elastic and adhesive, and may provide new opportunities for pesticide design.
The study was led by researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) and the University of Melbourne, and is published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B today [Wednesday, 23 November 2011].

3 researchers in the Amazon clear up doubts as to the benefits of ecotourism
2011-11-23
Ecological tourism has no effect on the presence of large mammals in the Amazon, according to a study that for the first time compares the biological diversity of ecotourism zones with that of protected areas. Furthermore, it can help to protect the biodiversity of areas that are not officially protected yet are vital in the ecological framework.
Since the UN began to promote ecological tourism at the end of the 1980's as a way of protecting the environment without resorting to its economic exploitation, the debate as to whether ecotourism is really beneficial has remained ...

Turkey talk: 2 American Chemical Society videos digest Thanksgiving myth and fact
2011-11-23
WASHINGTON -- Does tryptophan in turkey really cause the bleary-eyed daze after a Thanksgiving meal? What's inside those pop-up timers that announce the turkey is ready for the table? How can those timers pop up when the turkey reaches exactly the right internal temperature?
For answers to those and other questions that could spark lively dinnertime conversation Thursday, check out two high-definition Bytesize Science videos that the American Chemical Society (ACS), the world's largest scientific society, is offering as an addition to the holiday menu. They are available ...
Agencies Pursuing Employers who Misclassify Non-Employees in New York
2011-11-23
The Labor Department will be sharing information with nearly a dozen states, including New York's Attorney General, and the Internal Revenue Service in a push to crack down on businesses that cheat workers out of wages by misclassifying them as independent contractors. Wage and hour determinations vary greatly based on how a worker is characterized.
By sharing information Labor officials will be able to target businesses that misclassify workers as independent contractors or non-employees to avoid paying the minimum wage and overtime pay. An employer can also avoid paying ...
Robojelly gets an upgrade
2011-11-23
Engineers at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (VirginiaTech) have developed a robot that mimics the graceful motions of jellyfish so precisely that it has been named Robojelly. Developed for the Office of Naval Research in 2009, this vehicle was designed to conduct ocean underwater surveillance, enabling it potentially to detect chemical spills, monitor the presence of ships and submarines, and observe the migration of schools of fish.
Recently, a team at VirginiaTech has improved the performance of this silicone swimmer, enabling it to better overcome ...
New design for mechanical heart valves
2011-11-23
The heart's valves, which guarantee the unidirectional flow of blood from one chamber to another, are asymmetrical. For example, the two flaps of the heart's mitral valve – which regulates blood flow between the left atrium and the left ventricle – vary in size by up to 70 percent. This arrangement, says fluid mechanicist Marija Vukicevic from the University of Trieste (now a researcher at Clemson University), naturally drives blood flow along the lateral wall of the ventricle; from there, blood takes a smooth turn creating a large vortex that redirects the blood toward ...
