That's the reason for you? That it's becoming slightly less convenient?

For me it was the enormous environmental impact, the economic abuse, the unsustainable policies and some other factors, but sure, let's go with the hassle :)

I don't see how bricl and mortar retail avoids most of this tbh. You are just changing last mile here IMHO

It is the same supply chain from Walmart when you buy in store

Really? You don't see the difference between one truck delivering tonnes of goods and customers going to buy tonnes of things in one go by car or (way less insane) walk to nearby stores vs each USB pen being delivered by an independent driver?

Customers don't always buy tonnes of things in one go, though. It's common for people to spend an afternoon shopping and just buy a few things. If everyone gets in their cars to drive to the store to pick up a few things, there will be a lot more pollution generated than if it was all delivered by a big truck. Especially if those people live in a suburb that's far from any shopping centers.

Yeah this part of my analysis but also the front end.

Product is manufactured in china, shipped to us, warehoused. That's the same for both ecommerce and store.
