French shoppers are more likely than their international counterparts to have goods delivered to convenience stores, according to a new report from the Royal Mail.

The study showed however that a greater proportion are likely to want deliveries made to convenience stores (17%) than the average international shopper (5%).

The research showed that one in four online shoppers in France have purchased from a UK site in the last three months, spending an average of €57 (£50) per month.

A hunger for British brands (72%), quality of produce (76%) and unique British character (83%) helped to win British customers.
