I mean, how is it environmentally worse that one guy go make a whole bunch of deliveries to a whole bunch of people vs one guy driving to the store and back? Couldn't you make the argument that the distance being traveled for OP's packages is only the distance between the package immediately before and after his package? The product is getting delivered to your house both ways, it's just that one is by you and the other isn't. It's not as bad as you make it seem.

Really only half the distance between the stop before and after. There is also the fact that extra packaging is necessary when an item is shipped versus picking it up in a store. I don't have a great idea on how to measure this impact.
