Comment on Real Life UX: Returning Items to Amazon Makes Me Smileparent

Of course what's even more efficient is shipping to a network of distribution centers which are in walking distance for most people, reachable by mass transit by others and reachable during trips that would have happened anyway for the rest.

You assume that waking productive human time (spent walking to/from the distribution center, or waiting for mass transit connections) is worth absolutely nothing.

It's the scarcest resource of all of this.

I didn't assume that, I simply didn't discuss it. I was replying to the grandparent which refers to environmental issues.

Do you mean that we would pick up from a large warehouse, or that the warehouse would ship orders to central distribution points?

I think morsch means supermarkets, farmers' markets, high streets, and shopping malls.
