Online shopping was driven by fast, cheap shipping by low overhead operations and as way to avoid sales tax.

Shipping is astronomically expensive and you now have to pay taxes on online sales even on items that are tax exempt due to the difficulty of online payments.

Overhead for online sellers has really increased so the much disdained brick and mortar operations are becoming competitive

I have really cut back on online purchases for these reasons

The days where people run to the mall to test drive merchandise and then go buy it online sales dominance may be coming to an end
