Welcome to Delivery Matters, now
in its ninth year of providing the
latest trends and insights into the UK
and international online shopping
environment. In this edition, we take
our fi rst look at Ireland.
Ireland is an ideal fi rst-step export
market for UK businesses looking to dip
their toes into overseas markets. For a
start, 14% of online shoppers in Ireland
are UK nationals. It’s also in the same
time zone, is English speaking, has a
strong transport infrastructure, and
consumers have a good perception of
British quality.
Unsurprisingly, given how close the
countries are geographically and
culturally, a big percentage of online
shoppers from Ireland buy from UK
websites. That stems from a high
level of trust in the authenticity of
UK products. Interestingly, Ireland’s
shoppers are still cautious about
shopping online overall, and that aff ects
their purchase decisions – even from UK
websites. This is why providing a variety
of delivery options and tracking should
be imperative for UK retailers.
When it comes to how the shopping’s
being done, the report shows that
Ireland’s consumers use their mobiles
more than those in the UK, and a
large majority buy things from online
marketplaces. Clothing is top of the
shopping list, making it the favourite
category purchased online from
UK retailers.
For UK retailers looking to attract online
shoppers in Ireland, there are local
expectations that need to be met.
At Royal Mail we can help deliver on
those. This report will show you how.

Online shopping trends
Top trends for 2017 Separated by the North Channel, the Irish Sea, and St George’s
Channel, Ireland is geographically very close to Great Britain.
How close is its online shopping behaviour? While there are
similarities, our report uncovered trends that are surprisingly
unique to the way people shop online in Ireland.
They’re more mobile
Ireland’s online shoppers like to
buy things from their phones and
tablets. Three in five of them have
bought items with a mobile device
– and the proportion of their online
spend represents 73% of their
total spending.
They’re more cautious
Online shoppers in Ireland
abandon their carts more than
the international average. With
nearly one in two of them doing so
frequently, it’s a clear sign they’re
more cautious than most when it
comes to hitting the ‘buy’ button.
They’re more demanding
Possibly due to that caution and
need for reassurance, Ireland’s
online shoppers have greater
delivery expectations. From
tracking to delivery speed,
they’re far more demanding than
the international average. These
demands ultimately extend to value
for money, which is a key driver
when shopping with UK retailers. of online shoppers’ total
spend is made online
73%

in Europe. Which could be a reason why people use their
smartphone or tablet to shop online more than people in
the UK or internationally do.

Ireland and the UKU
Ireland loves UK brands Unsurprisingly, given the geographical proximity, the proportion of
Ireland’s shoppers purchasing from UK websites is far higher than
the international average.
81% have purchased from a UK website in the last three months
14% of Ireland’s online shoppers are UK nationals
In the last three months, the average shopper in Ireland purchasing from a UK website has:
• shopped online four times
• spent €174 (£154).*
Saving money with UK post codes
54% of shoppers in Ireland are aware of a service that delivers to Northern
Ireland to take advantage of cheaper delivery costs to a UK postal address.
And over half of those have used it. So UK retailers could off er better value
for money by providing a UK postal address of their own in Northern Ireland.

In summary
Ireland market must-do’sGo mobile
Make mobile optimisation a top priority if you want to target online
shoppers in Ireland. They use their smartphones far more than any other
device and more than any other countries in Europe.
Value is vital
Matching shoppers’ expectations of value for money is a top priority.
Aff ordability and good value are pillars of the purchase decision. Crucially,
as cart abandonment levels show, this extends to delivery charges.
Focus on delivery
UK online retailers should offer Ireland’s shoppers free delivery and
returns wherever possible, along with tracking. These are pivotal in
building shopper confidence and encouraging repeat business.
