Would be interesting to know the numbers. It's a bit like IKEA, their furniture requires less energy to produce and ship but does the resulting cheapness cause people to buy significantly more?

I don't think I buy significantly more stuff than I otherwise would just because it's convenient from Amazon, but perhaps I do.

Furniture is large; you can't buy significantly more sofas and closets. It may be cheap but still not throwaway cheap.

Small items easily available via Amazon are much easier to hoard.
