It's 6 a . m . and Stephen is preparing 6 , 000 orders for customers . He works in a warehouse for a popular online store . 'The first Monday in December is busier than other Mondays , ' says Stephen . 'We sell 50% more products' . Shoppers go to shops at the weekend to look for Christmas presents . But they know there are better prices online , so they order the cheaper product from us on Monday . The high street is often more expensive than an online store . That is the reason because more than 40 million users search the internet for discounts every Cyber Monday . B . . 'Online shopping is more convenient than the high street and it's quicker too , ' says Stephen . It takes less than ten minutes to choose items online add them to the basket and pay at the checkout . Then the order goes to the warehouse . Workers collect the items for the order and prepare the customer's package . Then it arrives with the customer the next day .
