The Portuguese news website says an International Post Corporation survey found 16 percent of the orders were for goods from Spain and 11 percent for goods from the United Kingdom.
The survey found 54 percent were for goods sold on the Chinese Alibaba or Aliexpress websites, and on the US eBay and Amazon websites.
