This is one of those problems that goes away entirely if you work from home.
Pretty much everything I buy apart from groceries comes from Amazon. Here in England, that means it arrives the next day regardless of what shipping method you ask for, and since there's always somebody here, it just plain works.
As tech folk, remote work is more workable every year. I suspect the long term solution to your problem will be that you pick up a remote gig too. (as will everybody else)
- JulianMorrison 11y agoWhat fraction of jobs can be worked from home? Lots, but definitely not all. Of course I'm a proponent of automating all jobs and switching to a leisure economy, which would fix the problem too and in a similar way, but I'm considering the near term here.

- JulianMorrison 11y agoGood luck remote working as a chef, a mechanic or a vet.
- blakeyrat 11y agoIt goes away if you have an office job too, as you can just have packages delivered to your office during the day. (Unless your company has a really grumpy receptionist.)
