Well, if you're actually paying for delivery. What's happening these days seems to be more of an offloading of that expense onto the deliverypeople. It "works" until a working vehicle becomes too expensive. Then, if you're lucky, you're paying the same amount to get your item in a week, when your house hits their algorithmically-generated route. Alternatively, deliveries could actually be priced marginally above cost (instead of below), and a lot of people can't afford it anymore. Good thing those retailers are still open. /s
