A strange thing to me, and maybe I'm thinking about it incorrectly, is that things on Amazon sometimes cost significantly less than in the store. My hair products are easily 5 dollars cheaper than the store. I hate Amazon and I realize I am paying for delivery, but I just don't get the economics of that.
Also, I live close to the US border and I will clothing shop there,it's WAY cheaper, and let's face it, it's all made in sweat shops regardless so might as well save a buck. Honestly department store pricing is just rigged, like if you go with the coupons and app offers and long weekend sales, etc, I can get a ton of clothes for under 400 dollars, which would not get me far at all in Canada, easily I quadruple the amount of clothes I can buy, even factoring for the exchange rate. When I read the receipt, everything is knocked off and under 25 dollars at the end of the sale. I don't get it.
Amazon is far more efficient. The store has to move the thing there, put it on a shelf. Keep the lights on. Keep the store clean and staffed.
Amazon uses algorithms to distribute a few of those items to some mega wearhouse near you. It gets picked up by someone also picking up a dozen other things. And the cost of delivery is not the whole distance, your cost is just the last delivery location to yours, and those routes are plotted algorithmically to be as effecient as possible.
You driving to the store burning that much gas and wearing your tires the whole round trip, just for the one thing makes it further inefficient.
Stores literally only make sense if you want to try the thing out, for fresh local food, or for a bulk trip like Costco, where its more of a wearhouse than a store, and you pack you car so full you're basically acting as the Amazon delivery driver. That's why stores like CVS and Walgreens are closing all over, it simply makes no economic sense anymore.
