Since I shop online, many items on a website are not sold in their store, web order only and can only be shipped from point X to your location, otherwise I would order the item online that is at my local WalMart, drive and pick it up myself.
And since I grocery shop at WalMart, or get my prescriptions there, why have someone unknown to me, a stranger showing up at my house...not only knows where I live, also what I ordered and possibly something more about the inside of my home. And whose to guarantee delivery of undamaged goods.
There are also liability issues & responsibilities for both the Store and Delivery Person. And not to mention, some neighborhoods you as the delivery person might not want to be in at any hour of the day. And next the delivery person will Have Gun Will Carry, as even Pizza Delivery persons are robbed and killed.
And what about weather, could change a person's mind about delivering the goods, they do not have the same motto as USPS.
This is too funny "WalMart would offer a discount on the customers' shopping bill, effectively covering the cost of their gas in return for the delivery of packages, he added."
A Discount and cover the cost of gasoline, what about the wear & tear of the vehicle they drive, their insurance cost & liability, filing at tax time...means you have to share your SS#, pay for added income.
Google is pushing for Same Day Delivering too...everything from your email to your search results to your to-do list, instantly. So why not your groceries, office supplies or your medication? That’s Google’s next move, to bring you your physical goods when you want them.
I shall stick with FedEx, UPS, USPS, DHL & others will be upset, not to mention the loss of revenue, jobs, deliveries...Since the US Post Office (USPS) is turning to Clothing sales as they lost last year $15.9 billion dollars.
So what next, will we be able to shop at the Post Office for our groceries, meds, auto-parts, sports stuff, toys too
Next we will have to go to the ranches and help slaughter stock to eat, grow our own veggies, hey wait we did that back in the 1800's, early 1900's. How about a "Be A Good Neighbor Plan" you notify your neighbors you are going to the store, they give you gas money, a list and money to do their shopping and in return, they buy your groceries too.
I think the Air Force should fly Americans anywhere in the world, since we pay for their existence, providing jobs and our children a future....and forget Carnival Cruises, we have the Navy...a 6 month cruise on a Carrier with Aircraft launches daily as our E-Ticket Ride as a back seater, better than being at Disney Land, Magic Mountain or Six Flags.
