Driving Amazon’s electric delivery vehicle: Rivian EDV [video]
Why do people like home delivery? (or, does anyone, really?)<p>It is such a pain in the ass. I'd pay good money NOT to have it delivered to my home, but often enough you don't know about it when you order it.<p>Here most will pass several small postal-services (these are your closest gas station or small grocery store or ) on their way to/from work every single day. Even if I'm gonna be home I'd rather take the three minute walk than being interrupted when I'm in the shower or be worried that my short errand is going to make me miss my package.<p>It of course makes it worse that I live in an apartment, but it is not like a house would make it much better. The whole concept that we (well, the US at least) have porch pirates is just wild. Why?<p>Such unimaginable waste driving around to every single home needing delivery. Especially when it is such a damn hassle trying to reroute the package to your workplace if you even have that luxury.<p>If you are old/sick, fine. Or certain kinds of goods such as grocery deliveries. But for the love of god, why would anyone think it is desirable for it to be the norm? How can this even be a thing?
