- crazygringo 6y agoSmall items are almost entirely delivered by the post office instead of UPS, and the post office is stopping by your house pretty much every day no matter what. Contrast with you personally making a detour in your car to a physical store to buy a single small item -- that actually DOES have a fuel cost. Unless your purchases are always along a route your travel anyways (like your commute), delivery is vastly more fuel-efficient as a general rule.
