I'm already noticing that my neighborhood is becoming a sea of brown UPS trucks, especially around Christmas time. I see your point that if everybody had everything delivered, it would probably not be sustainable, especially in densely populated neighborhoods.

I think that's why Amazon and others are looking into delivery by drone for the smaller items. I think that has potential but probably some time away.

I believe they are going to have to come up with a better delivery model. In time it may actually be a little slower. The reason it is so good now is that it is still only a fraction of retail but it is growing a lot for people who have money to spend.

The statistic from last week, that 1/2 the people in this country make $30,000 a year OR LESS! is shocking to me. They sure don’t have any extra moeny to spend on stuff. Food, clothing, shelter and medical insurance... that’s it for them.
