Heatwave, Father's Day push UK, Europe Q2 fashion ecommerce orders
As per data from Scurri Unpacked, both toys and fashion categories saw a 33% rise in order volumes. Scurri Unpacked monitors delivery trends through its management platform that processes over 200 million shipments annually. In the UK specifically, e-commerce volumes grew by 6% year-over-year (YOY) in Q2, partly fuelled by Father's Day spending, which GlobalData projected to surpass £1.12bn. The categories that performed best in the UK included food and drink, fashion, pet and animal products, as well as tools and DIY. Scurri founder and CEO Rory O'Connor said: 'May and June entered the record books as two of the hottest months seen across the UK and Europe. This, combined with Father's Day trading, created ideal conditions for ecommerce growth. The uplift in outdoor, gifting and lifestyle categories shows how quickly consumer needs can shift and the importance of responding in real-time to capitalise on sales.' International shipping volumes also saw robust growth. Germany led with a 37% YOY increase in Q2 volumes, followed by Poland at 28%, and Ireland at 21%. Conversely, shipment volumes to the US decreased by 17%, likely due to new tariffs imposed on UK goods starting 5 April 2025. E-commerce brands are increasingly leveraging delivery options to enhance customer satisfaction and build brand trust, said Scurri. Signature-on-delivery services witnessed a 21% quarter-on-quarter (QOQ) rise and a 28% YOY increase. This trend suggests that consumers are seeking more secure delivery options amid concerns over parcel fraud and theft. Next-day delivery services remained consistent with Q1 trend but showed a YOY increase of 29%, indicating a continuous demand for prompt deliveries. The second quarter saw weekend delivery volumes fall by 26% from Q1 due to fewer special occasions; however, this service option still saw the highest YOY growth at 47%. Meanwhile, two-day delivery options rose by 19% QOQ as consumers balanced cost against delivery speed. 'With Scurri Unpacked, we're opening access to our delivery data and sharing valuable insights that not only empower customers but democratise those insights for the entire industry, helping inform strategy, improve performance and navigate ongoing and fast-paced change,' O'Connor concluded.

UK, Europe e-commerce order volumes rose 18% in Q2
UK-based e-tailers saw their local and European e-commerce order volumes increasing by 18% year on year in Q2, helped by widespread warmer weather that boosted sales in multiple categories. And for June alone, gross merchandise value (GMV) jumped 25%, according to Scurri Unpacked data. Temperatures reached record levels in many countries in the last two months and this supported seasonal categories, including garden and outdoor (+48%), homewares (+46%), fashion (+33%) and sports equipment (+31%). Specific UK e-commerce volumes were up 6% for the quarter with food and drink, fashion, and pet purchases among the top-performing categories by volume. But the data showed that US volumes declined by 17% as the impact of tariffs hampered performance. Scurri analysed trends based on over 200 million annual shipments processed through its delivery management platform and said the overall Q2 increase in the UK was driven in part by Father's Day spending. The influence of this gifting occasion can be seen in the top-performing UK categories during the quarter, which included food and drink, fashion, pet and animal, and tools and DIY. International shipping volumes were also strong. Germany posted a 37% increase in volumes, followed by Poland (+28%) and Ireland (+21%). But as mentioned, US volumes dropped, hurt by the introduction of a 10% tax on UK imports back in April. Scurri also said that e-commerce brands 'continued to use delivery options as a lever for customer satisfaction and brand trust'. Signature-on-delivery services saw a 21% rise quarter-on-quarter (QoQ), and a 28% one on the year, 'indicating a growing demand for delivery assurance among shoppers, perhaps in response to ongoing growing concern around parcel fraud and theft'. Next -day delivery volumes were flat QoQ but up 29% on the year, 'pointing to steady demand for speed'. Interestingly too, weekend delivery volumes may have dropped by 26% compared to Q1 (perhaps an expected decline given fewer gifting events), but year-on-year this service recorded the highest growth at +47%. And two-day delivery saw a 19% QoQ rise as shoppers looked for 'a balanced option between cost and speed'. 'The uplift in outdoor, gifting and lifestyle categories shows how quickly consumer needs can shift and the importance of responding in real-time to capitalise on sales,' said Rory O'Connor, Founder and CEO of Scurri.
