Let's say in 10 years 90% of people do online shopping how will logistics companies cope with the increased workload? Surely there will be a breaking point?
And more and more traffic on roads causing gridlock and harmful emissions. Anything I have ordered I have never needed the next day so I am sure lots of people would be happy waiting 3 or 4 days. They are just trying to outdo each other. If people were happy to wait a bit longer they should/could open up canals and waterways and transport goods off road. But as I am stupid I guess there will be a reason for not doing this.
It would probably make things easier and cheaper. Currently, larger companies have to order and ship goods to specific shops all over the country. If most of these shops eventually close a higher percentage of goods will be sent to a few strategically placed warehouses for storage and then shipped directly to customers when an online order is made. Companies would save money by having fewer high street shops, which would mean much lower business rates and less staff would also be required.
Goodness gracious me. That is humongous and words cannot describe how huge this is with writing alone. Imagine everyone went on strike across all warehoused in the UK, that would be breaking news lol
I always wonder why they haven't added an extra storey inside. There's a lot of vertical space in there and they could double it by putting in a floor...
Have you seen Ocado's robotic warehouse? So cool!
Online shoppings arr more demands as people are busy working and dont have to time to go shopping by car. It can save fuel and time too.
lot of delivery companies are trailing the use of drones and other automaton instructed deliveries, so it cuts out the manual labour, which in theory would make things more efficient (as you can make drones work 24-7 - you can't make people do that...not in this side of the world anyway)
This depends more on city folks while country folks prefer to get out and buy it themselves.
Also, when saying "city folks" it applies mostly to cities which are developed enough with Amazon/etc because there's plenty that aren't. Tbh, that's not really a bad thing, it makes you socialize.
