Add to it that I suspect self-shipping tends to end up being more expensive than it needs to be for individuals, too. The selection boxes offered at retail shipping locations is limited, so you almost invariably end up paying to ship a bigger box than is necessary. Maybe if you're the kind of person to save boxes you can often find one that fits well in your basement, but for the urban markets they're looking to serve most people will be living in smaller residences without a lot of space for packratting cardboard.
