I think same day delivery is stupid, but unfortunately Amazon has set the bar there, no matter how many people get harmed in the process. Companies like Home Depot need to find a way to compete for the service level consumers expect if they want to remain in business... not that Walmart is the ideal partner to avoid human suffering.

Unless you're paying for Amazon's sunk cost fallacy, their standard is to hold your order several days before shipping. Brick and mortar stores plus Fedex often deliver faster than Amazon does! And if you are paying for Amazon's sunk cost fallacy, that doesn't mean you want to automatically sign up for additional sunk cost fallacies at more stores. Which is eventually what these gigwork delivery options always turn into (eg Target "shipt"), because paying people to perform ad-hoc shopping and delivery isn't cheap either.
