I can find the item I want online in about 1 minute opposed to driving to several stores to search for the item and getting no help from the store clerks. And the price is almost always cheaper, a lot of times without tax. I get most orders in a couple of days. I have spent days to weeks trying to find something specific in a store. Online ordering just make sense.
I felt that way at my last house. Amazon does have delivery centers everywhere that you can you.
I bought a new house a couple of months ago and my front door is shielded from the street. You cannot see anything unless you walk right up. And my new video system should take care of that.
