I'm surprised e-commerce is still under 17 percent. It makes me want to check my purchasing habits to see if I'm around that mark.

  Cars & car parts, food, gas and clothes are still purchased almost exclusively in person. Those are each a massive percentage of spending. https://www.census.gov/retail/marts/www/marts_current.pdf https://www.census.gov/retail/marts/www/marts_current.pdf

    That tracks. I wouldn't trust e-gas either. Seriously though, I was thinking on how I had to stop and get cat litter, milk, and cereal on my way home today when I read what you posted. While I get some consumables online; pet food, filters for my odd-sized vent, and until recently Hello Fresh; I mostly buy consumables in person.

  This surprised me too. My apartment hallway has 5-10 amazon packages in it per day. I guess... everyone's just spending crazy money at home. Seeing the other comment about large purchases being made in person makes sense, but still - you can buy cars and clothes online now. 17 seems REALLY low!
