We are predicting that online Mega Monday this year will be 14th December 2009.

In previous years it has been predicted to be the Monday of the first full week in December, but although the 8th was big last year the 15th surpassed it.  This phenomena is caused by

• Monday is always peak trading day of the week for remote retailing
• Gradually increasing confidence in delivery close to the date.
• Improved delivery speed and reliability for major
• With Xmas on a Friday, most people will look to clear their major online purchase decisions the week before, with last minute store shopping still an option for four days prior to the big day.

The ongoing postal strike disputes may be the only thing to bring this forward this year.
