Internet sales grew in July at their fastest pace since before the recession, as wet weather encouraged home shopping, a survey suggests.
Online sales grew by 18% in the month compared with a year earlier, the biggest jump since 2007, IMRG said.
UK shoppers spent £5bn online in July, more than in any other month this year, it added.
Figures published on Thursday showed total UK retail sales rising much faster than expected in July.
Sales volumes jumped 1.1% compared with June, the Office for National Statistics said, with almost all non-food sectors showing strong growth.
