Interesting statement. A technical article in "Environmental Science & Technology" from the American Chemical Society concludes that the last mile is decisive for the CO2 footprint when it comes to stationary retail versus delivery service and describes here the use of the vehicle as well as the bundling of shopping. In rural areas, delivery services drive long distances with old cars. In Cologne, you also get food delivered by e-bike. Shows once again that it is not sensible to evaluate technologies and processes in principle and to ignore the application levels. There are many good reasons to solve things in different ways.

but the use of the vehicle is the same for employees of stationary retail and I can also bundle my shopping on the internet. Of course, my statement has to be viewed in a differentiated way, but just imagine the conversion of commercial space into residential space, the reduction of individual traffic etc. in big cities. It would also have other nice side effects if blocks like Peek & Cloppenburg, Karstadt and many more became obsolete through online trade. But I think it is only a matter of time...

Lieferando does not exist here at all. baoh where do I live?

I think it's only a matter of time...

Imagine that you go shopping in a car-free city and your purchases are brought to a hub via an urban conveyor belt logistics system and loaded into an autonomous vehicle for you, which then takes you home on request. This would give "stationary" shopping a whole new attractiveness.

Can you please stop with these horror scenarios of super-efficient living machines with all-encompassing nutrition logistics and cities that automatically carry our junk after us? I'm close to depression.

As long as I still have two arms and legs, no Lieferando or Amazon will come to or into my house ;)

Amazon is available here and is used. The source no longer exists and somehow we also need goods. There is not even a department store left in the district town. For many things, we have to travel between 80 and 100 km.

For many things we have to drive between 80 and 100 km.

Our house is deliberately built in such a way that we have little storage space and little floor space. Since then we buy much less and the "wanting to have" is reasonably disciplined. What is needed is also available here in the countryside. What goes beyond that is luxury and is therefore selected by us with pleasure and without time pressure and does not require delivery service. Some consumables are, however, sensationally cheap through delivery service - salt for the descaler, firelighters, screws and fittings for example. Others are very special and remote - like paint for the old Holder. There I also buy from mail order (but not from Amazon, I find them unsympathetic).
