Unhappy Black Friday shoppers take to social media
This time last week, shoppers were running up and down high streets, and scouring all corners of the internet for the best ‘Black Friday’ deals. The mad rush to bag those bargains in time for Christmas, saw only 1% of conversations regarding parcel deliveries on social media were positive.
Following the analysis of 65,000 Twitter conversations in the UK, 39% were negative with 16% failing to receive their parcel whilst 6% were unhappy with the condition of the item they received.
