The Amazon fulfilment centre in Milton Keynes, Bucks, preparing for Cyber Monday, December 3rd. Brits are expected to make more than ONE MILLION visits to online shopping sites tomorrow (Mon) on Cyber Monday - the biggest online shopping day of the year.Shoppers will make 115 million visits to retail websites, an increase of 36 per cent from 2011, according to Experian, the global information services company.Online shop Amazon.co.uk says it could be their busiest day ever and expects the highest volume of customer orders to be placed at 9.20pm.Last year on Cyber Monday Amazon received orders for more than three million items, a rate of around 35 items per second in 24 hours.On average at its peak, a delivery truck was leaving an Amazon UK fulfilment centre once every two minutes and 45 seconds."As people increasingly shop on mobile devices and benefit from fast broadband at home, we're seeing a move towards customers buying their Christmas gifts later in the evening when they are at home relaxing, " said Christopher North, managing director of Amazon.co.uk Ltd. "Monday 3rd December could be the busiest day in the history of Amazon.co.uk, and we're preparing for it by hiring more than 10, 000 seasonal employees across our eight UK fulfilment centres."
