Personally I think life was better Pre-Amazon.
The roads in my area are frequently blocked by Amazon, Walmart, FedEx and so on, parked on the road with their flashers on.
Blocking trafic.
And as my area is hilly trying to pass these trucks can be hazardous. Traffic coming the other way will be doing 45 MPH at minimum.
These trucks will be parked on the road even if the delivery address has a driveway. Unless the driveway is exceptionally long.
With the holiday season just two months away I am already seeing an uptick in the number of these trucks on the road.
Once Christmas season is in full flush it will become very dangerous to be on the road.
Last Saturday my wife and I were sitting out on the lawn and started talking about the SOAKER hose that we had around the new fruit trees.
I said I think we should get an 8’ one. The 6’ is too short.
Within 2 minutes she ordered it on her phone. She has an Amazon Prime account. It was delivered to our house free on charge/no shipping in the countryside of NH within 20 hours. ON A SUNDAY.
I think it is awesome.
I love home delivery services.
It means I don’t have to leave the house and go out on those dangerous roads you mention.
Amazon brings me household items, etc. Petsmart brings my dog food and treats on timed subscriptions. I don’t have to wrestle the heavy bags around the store and into and out of the truck.
About the only thing we need to routinely go out for are doctor appointments, and even half of those are Telemed.
Groceries can even be delivered, but I like to pick out my produce.
All good for us! Maybe I’m an undiagnosed agorophobe?
