Amazon has retained its position as the UK's most popular online retailer, a survey shows.
The website has once again topped the latest quarterly IMRG-Hitwise Hot Shops List which ranks the 50 most used online retailers in Britain.
Argos finished in second place, followed by Tesco.com in third, Play in fourth and Thomson Holidays in fifth.
Expedia was ranked sixth, followed by Easyjet, Apple Computer, Amazon USA and Lastminute.com.
Next moved up four spots to 11th, while Littlewoods surged eight places to 30th.
Other firms in the top 50 included PC World, Travelodge UK, Flybe.com, Ticketmaster UK, Comet UK, B&Q and Odeon Cinemas.
IMRG's chief executive James Roper said: "Against a backdrop of huge growth in online sales, up 80 per cent on last year to £4bn in July, the stability of retailers' positions on the list is extraordinary, and tells me two things: these market leaders are satisfying their customers pretty well, and competitors are having little or no effect on their progress.
"The really odd thing is that nothing about e-retailing is static - the customer base, expectations, propositions, technology - its all evolving rapidly all the time. Beneath this apparently serene and stable market is frantic activity keeping it so."
IMRG is a trade body for online retail firms.
