Amazon is just convenient though.

Other companies don't have stuff like the lockers which are really useful if you're working full-time and live alone.

It depends where you live.

Walmart can be convenient too. The prices are about the same as Amazon and depending on where you live you can have your product in hand in however long it takes to pick it up locally (~30 minutes or less let's say). Order it online, pick it up locally.

And if it's not available in the store right now, they ship it to their store for free in usually a day or 2. No membership required.

Not in the UK.

Picking up locally is not great if you don't drive.
