Aside from network connectivity I'd be surprised if Amazon can deliver in 2 days if you're sufficiently far from a distribution center (not that they consistently hit that in major metropolises...)
- elihu 5y agoIs that a deal breaker for many people? It seems like it would be a lot more inconvenient to be a long distance from services (grocery store, schools, hospitals, etc..)
- blacksmith_tb 5y agoProbably not a deal breaker, just another thing people moving from cities out into the countryside would have to adapt to. I agree that being a distance from all the basics seems hard.
- mindslight 5y agoIn my experience Amazon voluntarily delays orders by several days before shipping anyway, presumably to encourage people to sign up for their sunk cost fallacy. Quick shipping can be handy some times, but it's really not this end-all be-all that people bought into the sunk cost fallacy make it out to be. And traditional big box stores have better search functionality, lower prices, and supply chain integrity. I'd be perfectly content with packages getting delivered only two days per week to better amortize the route length. It's the delivery companies that are pushing these every day routes, presumably so they don't have to be in the storage business.
