Research from DHL eCommerce UK finds that nearly half of Brits have purchased (49%) and sold (42%) goods on online marketplaces, rising to 63% and 52% amongst 25-34 year olds. Unsurprisingly, fashion is the most popular category of second–hand items sold online. Gemma Marshall, Out of Home Product Manager, DHL eCommerce UK, says: “The growing trend of buying and selling preloved items online reflects a broader shift in consumer values. Sustainability is a key driver for those embracing preloved shopping, and it’s no surprise that more retailers are stepping up to offer preloved options to meet this demand. DHL has increased its parcel access points by 50% over the past two years, driven by growing consumer demand for more convenient and sustainable delivery options.
