I would still argue that home delivery is more environmentally friendly...
The Amazon and UPS drivers delivering to my suburban neighborhood seem to drop at least two packages per street, so the cost in gas per delivery is half a street (wild approximation). If I am driving home and stop off at a grocery store as I pass I still have to get to and navigate in and out of their parking lot. Likely more than half a streets worth of gas in the best possible case.
Only walking to the store is going to be more environmentally friendly.
We can talk about Amazon's packaging related carbon costs but that is not this thread.
