KENT, ENGLAND, June 14, 2012 (Press-News.org) You may or may not have read that last year many e-commerce e-tailers saw an explosion in business with many companies seeing double digit percentage rises in sales when compared to the year before. Worldwide Parcel Services is pleased to tell you that in particular in the run up to Christmas last year in countries across the Globe the number of parcels sent as a result of e-commerce rose by 15-20% when compared to the year before.
This growth was unprecedented and caught out many major players in the global courier services industry, however here at Worldwide Parcel Services we had things covered having seen a rise the year before when due to bad weather leading up to Christmas many people switched to shopping online for presents, as they could not physically get to the shops.
We predicted that having experienced beating the crowds by shopping comfortably from their armchair, that people would do the same last Christmas and indeed they did.
However it might be that your parcel courier was not so wise to this increase and you found yourself dealing with angry customers awaiting parcels for Christmas.
The key thing that you need to be aware of is that this increase in e-commerce was not just a one off, and parcel industry experts are predicting rates of up to 15% growth year on year for the next five years in some countries. That kind of growth might sound great, but if your parcel courier can't handle it then you could find that your business reputation may go down hill fast.
A prime example of this happening was Yodel, Britain's second largest parcel delivery company, who were hammered in the papers and by online petitions due to angry customers awaiting parcels with presents in.
Worldwide Parcel Services aims not to put you or us in that situation and looks to work with its customers who are developing and expanding their e-commerce sales to be able to handle the increased number of parcel shipments that will arise as a result.
As an example many companies are now moving to offering free shipping on the Internet, and indeed it is predicted within two years that 80-90% of companies maybe offering this service. Whilst sadly we can't offer to deliver your parcels for free, at Worldwide Parcel Services we are looking to develop business with prospective e-commerce companies for the longer term.
Our experience at Worldwide Parcel Services tells us that as soon as you start to offer free delivery your online sales will jump up, and the question is, is your current parcel courier ready for that increase? A 15% increase may sound great but it also means you and us effectively squeezing an extra hours work in to an eight hour day.
Worldwide Parcel Services aims to work with you closely to ensure that we both handle your e-commerce parcel growth efficiently and make sure customer deliveries are made on time every day of the year, particularly in the Festive season. So contact Worldwide Parcel Services today to find out how we can help out with your e-commerce growth.

Bat bridges don't work
2012-06-14
Wire bridges built to guide bats safely across busy roads simply do not work, University of Leeds researchers have confirmed.
In a study published today (13 June 2012) in PLoS ONE, a team from the University's Faculty of Biological Sciences monitored four wire bridges spanning major roads in the north of England. All had been built over the last nine years to replace hedgerows – the bats' established commuting routes – when these routes were severed by new roads.
Roads act as barriers to bats, cutting colonies off from established feeding sites and reducing their ...
'Hitchhiking' viral therapy deals a double blow to cancer
2012-06-14
Scientists have shown how a promising viral therapy that delivers a double blow to cancer can sneak up on tumours undetected by hitching a ride on blood cells.
The work, led by researchers from the University of Leeds and The Institute of Cancer Research (ICR), reveals how the 'hitch-hiking' virus is shielded from antibodies in the blood stream that might otherwise neutralise its anti-cancer properties.
The findings, from a study in patients, suggest that viral therapies like this can be effectively injected into the bloodstream during routine outpatient appointments ...

Genetic discovery will help fight diarrhea outbreaks
2012-06-14
Researchers at the University of East Anglia (UEA) have discovered unexpectedly large genetic differences between two similar species of the pathogenic Cryptosporidium parasite.
Published today in the journal Evolutionary Applications, the findings pave the way for a new gold standard test to distinguish between the waterborne parasite's two main species affecting humans. One species is spread from person to person (Cryptosporidium hominis) but the other is often spread from livestock to people (Cryptosporidium parvum).
"Being able to discriminate quickly between the ...
Tracking MRSA in real time
2012-06-14
In a new study released today in New England Journal of Medicine, researchers demonstrate that whole genome sequencing can provide clinically relevant data on bacterial transmission within a timescale that can influence infection control and patient management.
Scientists from the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, University of Cambridge, and Illumina collaborated to use whole genome sequencing to identify which isolates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) were part of a hospital outbreak.
Current laboratory techniques often cannot distinguish between ...
Putting parasites on the world map
2012-06-14
Researchers have developed a new technique to identify hotspots of malaria parasite evolution and track the rise of malarial drug resistance, faster and more efficiently than ever before.
For the first time, researchers have the ability to analyse malaria genomes straight from patient blood samples using new sequencing technologies and informatics methods. As a proof of principle, the team conducted the first analysis of clinical samples from six countries and uncovered unique differences in malaria development in Africa, Asia and Oceania. This study is published in Nature ...
