Australian parcel theft rockets to an all-time high with the second largest rise than any other country globally

Leave a comment
  • First global report on parcel theft
  • Over a third of Australians affected by parcel theft or loss in lifetime
  • One in ten people globally are now reluctant to shop online because of fear of theft
  • Australia second highest on global list of increasing parcel problems
  • Sharpest rise and greatest rate of parcel theft and loss in Greater Adelaide

LONDON, Oct. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Doorstep parcel theft is sweeping Australia, according to the first global report on parcel theft. More than 3.6 million parcels were lost or stolen in a 12-month period, with nearly a third of residents having a parcel stolen or lost. This has cost Australian consumers a total of AU$224.3 million in missing goods.1

The results are part of the world’s first global parcel theft survey which found that close to one in ten people had at least one parcel lost or stolen from May 2021 to April 2022. This amounts to a staggering 1.009 billion packages2 globally, at a total cost of AU$57.04 billion.1

Worldwide, there was an all-time high of stolen or lost parcels with an estimated rise of 155 million2 compared to the previous 12 months, despite initiatives to tackle the surge post-covid. This is more than a 2% increase.

The Penn Elcom Global Parcel Theft Report was commissioned by Penn Elcom, a globally recognised British steel manufacturer and producer of the Penn Parcel Box, and sponsored exclusively by Scurri, the world’s leading courier management platform for eCommerce and shipping, and produced by YouGov. It revealed that Australia suffered the second greatest increase (+3%) after the UK (+5%), followed by Canada (+2%), the US and UAE (+1% respectively).

Australian regional hot spots include:

  • Sharpest rise in missing parcels: Greater Adelaide, up 15% to 28% – nearly a third of residents had a parcel stolen or lost in the last 12 months
  • Parcel problems hotspots – proportion of residents who had a parcel lost or stolen between May 2021 and April 2022:
    • Greater Sydney: 17%
    • Greater Brisbane: 15%
    • Greater Melbourne: 13%
  • Highest levels of anxiety around parcel theft: Greater Sydney (23%)

A staggering 36% of people surveyed in Australia have had a package lost or stolen in their lifetime, amounting to over 9.2 million parcels2 and expected to rise without preventive measures.

The psychological impact

Almost a quarter of Aussies (23%) feel anxious about parcel theft, with one in five (20%) also in fear of parcels being stolen. These concerns are highest in Greater Sydney, where a quarter of respondents are anxious about posted goods (25%) and a fifth (20%) proactively looking for parcel-theft prevention products.

In Greater Adelaide, only 15% of respondents have looked into preventatives, despite having the sharpest increase in the rate of missing parcels and the highest level of parcels stolen or lost.

Greater Sydney and Greater Melbourne topped the table for people reluctant about making new online orders due to theft (20% respectively).

More Australian women felt anxious about parcel loss or theft (55% women, to 45% men), but 58% of parcel security product searches were by men, compared to 42% women.

Penn Elcom’s chairman, Roger Willems, said: “A surge in online shopping accelerated by Covid, along with seasonal rushes, means couriers are under intense pressure. Professional thieves are known to follow delivery vans, stealing packages minutes after they are dropped off, while opportunistic thieves take advantage of parcels left on doorsteps.”

“We expect parcel piracy to continue to rise as global parcel deliveries increase3 if measures are not taken. We are doing our best to support delivery companies and save online shoppers the headache of missed deliveries – as well as the heartache of lost and stolen parcels,” added Roger.

According to Google Trends, global searches for ‘parcel theft’ have rocketed as shoppers continue to order online, especially for seasonal holidays. The study found that one in ten people worldwide are also now reluctant to shop due to fear of theft, impacting retailers.

Gavin Murphy, CMO of Scurri, said “When parcel delivery fails at the final hurdle, the customer experience fails expectations and customers may be discouraged from buying online again from that retailer. Real-time data is critical. Simply stating that a package has been dispatched or is on board a last mile delivery vehicle is totally inadequate.”

Penn Elcom is campaigning to restore confidence in online shopping and has a solution. The Penn Parcel Box, made from quality British steel and designed using Penn Elcom’s decades of steel engineering expertise, is a secure, stylish, weatherproof solution for parcel deliveries for homes and businesses.

The Penn Parcel Box was developed in response to enquiries from customers who had problems with parcels going missing.

YouGov, the leading British research group, surveyed 2,000 random consumers in the UK, US, the UAE, Canada and Australia in May 2022. 50% were male and 50% female, ranging in age from 18-55 and above.

Survey Shows that 75% of Australian Consumers Regularly Shop On Multiple Online Marketplaces

A survey of over 5,000 global consumers provides brands and retailers with actionable insights into when, where and how they shop online, ahead of the festive season

MELBOURNE, Australia, Sept. 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — ChannelAdvisor Corporation (NYSE: ECOM), a leading provider of cloud-based e-commerce solutions, today released the results of its 2022 E-Commerce Consumer Survey, which gauged the shopping behaviours of over 5,000 respondents in Australia, U.S. and Europe. The global survey found consumers in Australia trust a brand’s website and marketplaces for product research, with social media found to be the least trusted platform.

The results of the survey offer brands and retailers actionable insights into the current perspectives of online shoppers and found 50% of consumers in Australia trust a brand’s website or marketplaces (44%) for product research, compared to just 6% who trust social media.

Despite this lack of trust in social media, 29% of respondents said they discovered products through sites like Instagram and TikTok.

Survey participants shared their preferences for online marketplaces and retailer sites they visit to research and purchase products while weighing factors such as product selection and delivery methods.  The survey results also revealed how inflation and rising costs are affecting consumer purchasing decisions and their priorities when conducting online research before or during an in-store shopping experience.

“To stay competitive and agile in this changing environment, brands and retailers must first understand how, where and why consumers are shopping,” said Mike Shapaker, chief marketing officer at ChannelAdvisor. “These survey results provide valuable insights that will help empower sellers to gain strategies to help capture consumer attention as the festive season approaches.”

Key findings that emerged from this year’s survey data include:

  • The majority of Australian consumers are shopping on more than one marketplace
  • Retail Media ads are influencing consumer purchase decisions
  • The 2022 festive season will continue to involve heavy online research and purchasing activity

Australian trends indicate shopping journeys involve more activity across retail sites and marketplaces

  • 85% of global consumers use multiple digital touchpoints during their buying journey
  • 75% of consumers tend to use multiple marketplaces on a regular basis for browsing, shopping or buying
    • 20% of consumers regularly use three marketplaces on a regular basis for browsing, shopping or buying, and 16% use 4 or more
  • 50% of consumers have purchased an item from a foreign retail site or marketplace in the past 12 months
    • These purchases are more frequent among younger consumers (63% of 18- to 25-year-olds) than older consumers (32% of consumers aged 65+)
  • 54% of Australian consumers have used click and collect in the past 12 months

Marketplaces are the most common channels to discover new products

  • 88% of Australian consumers browse items on marketplaces or retail sites without the direct intention to purchase something
  • 43% of Australian consumers “discovered” products they’ve purchased in the past 12 months by browsing marketplaces

Retail media advertising is becoming essential to increase product awareness

  • 39% of Australian consumers have clicked on a sponsored or promoted ad that they saw on a marketplace or retail site in the past 12 months
    • This activity is higher among younger shoppers (55% of consumers aged 18-25 and 48% of consumers aged 26-35)
  • 28% of consumers have purchased an item on Amazon after seeing an ad for that product on Amazon

Google remains the top channel for product research in Australia

  • In the past 12 months, consumers have researched products on these sites*
    • Facebook: 41%
    • Instagram: 28%
    • Google: 85%
    • Amazon: 56%
    • eBay: 71%

Pricing is a major factor for Australian consumers before making a purchase:

  • 86% of consumers usually compare prices before making a purchase
  • 98% of consumers consider price a somewhat or very important factor in product selection
  • 65% of consumers indicated their reason for researching products online before or during shopping in-store “often” involves checking prices

The 2022 Australian festive season will continue to involve heavy online research and purchasing activity:

  • 84% of consumers plan to spend the same amount of time or more shopping for festive gifts online compared to last year
  • 26% of 18- to 25-year-old consumers plan to conduct festive shopping research on social media sites

BEIJING, Sept. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Dreame Technology (“Dreame”), a fast-growing company leading in smart home cleaning appliance, has been awarded a 2022 IDEA Silver Award for the DreameBot W10 and an IDEA Design Award for the DreameBot Z10 Pro.

The Industrial Design Excellence Awards (IDEA) are hosted by the Industrial Designers Society of America and are recognized as one of the top three global design award events, alongside the iF Awards and Red Dot Awards in Germany. The IDEA Design Award is widely acknowledged as a prominent accolade in global industrial design and development, attracting tens of thousands of contenders from hundreds of countries every year — with less than 10% winning an award. This award proves that the R&D strength, product quality and innovative design of Dreame Technology are in the forefront of the industry and have been approved of by international authorities.

In addition to the IDEA Design Award, Dreame Technology has also won the Red Dot Design Award and the iF Design Award. Winning those awards is closely related to their overall product arrangement and exploration of technology. Relying on the continuous innovation and breakthrough of high-speed digital motors, as well as the overseas brand strategy of deep localization, Dreame’s products have been exported to more than 100 countries and regions — despite the company being established for just 5 years.

“Dreame Technology respects every form of home, listens to every nuanced demand, and brings relaxation and warmth to each of our users with our intelligent and beautiful smart home appliances,” said Yu Hao, founder and CEO of Dreame Technology.

Dreame Technology will continue to explore the cutting-edge technologies in the field of intelligent cleaning. Dreame is committed to bringing users around the world a smart home lifestyle that truly automates their lives and improves their happiness.
