Hold your nerves Pearson1995 and sit tight. The online retailers face a number of problems, some of them probably short-term and pandemic-related, others more deep-seated.
These include spiralling costs for shipping products, rising wages and competition for warehouse staff, big hikes in energy bills and extra outlays from Brexit.
It all adds up to a big headache for retailers whose business model is based on the speedy supply of cheap clobber.
These problems are temporary and they will be rectified overtime .
