Between FED-EX, UPS, USPO & AMAZON my once quiet suburban neighborhood has become a war-zone of giant vehicle traffic day & night.

I get this is the shopping wave of the future, but it’s definitely impacted the quality of life where I live.

I take walks through my neighborhood on a daily basis. The volume of delivery trucks is pretty impressive.

Eventually this will go over to drones. Like a dystopian science fiction novel, our skies will soon be filled with drones delivering little boxes. Say you are making omelettes at home and run out of eggs, with the click of a button on your phone app, you can have a carton of eggs air dropped to your front doorstep in minutes.

Consider this peak eCommerce. Once Amazon has enough market share, and your local brick and mortar store are no longer, and fuel prices climb, you will find shipping prices revert to the costly norm.
