Nothing comes close to matching the ease of using amazon. In Canada if I need Kleenex I search kleenex, click buy now and it arrives to my house the same day! Sometimes I have to wait until the next day. The total time spent on the purchase is way under 1 minute.
To use costco I have to buy at least $75 or shipping is not free.
Walmart I have to fill out all my personal info and credit card info, and it's never same day shipping and sometimes there is a minimum amount I need to spend.
Driving to a store to pick up an item like this is just a giant waste of my time, gas, increases the chance of someone denting my side door in a parking lot from 0% to more than 0%.
There is no alternative that even comes close for simple items.
- Symbiote 4y agoDon't you consider how wasteful this is? Packaging and transport for a box of tissues, then the packaging to dispose of. Write yourself a note if necessary (post-it, phone app, whatever) and buy Kleenex the next time you're at the supermarket.
- r0fl 4y agoI have the complete opposite logic. I have to drive my gas guzzling suv to get Kleenex and a few other items OR the person delivering Amazon packages can drive a few minutes from the house down the street that is getting an Amazon package. Amazon is not driving the Kleenex from the warehouse to my house in an empty car! My delivery is an incremental carbon footprint. Going to the supermarket is significantly worse.
- skinnymuch 4y agoThe person said to buy it the next time you happened to be at the supermarket. Not to order a few items at a time. I believe they were specifically talking about going out of your way to be environmentally conscious.
