Your understanding of poor is really different from mine. Here (Europe) poor people don't buy online, they go to the store for food, it's cheaper. Amazon is a luxury, not an essential provider.

This depends on the country. In Poland most people buy online these days, but we all use postage boxes(company called InPost). They have 'boxes' everywhere, in every city, even small villages at this point have at least one, big cities have them everywhere within walking distance. They batch deliver packages to those boxes which is also more efficient and environment friendly, you get a code and can pick it up within 48hrs. They revolutionized online deliveries in Poland, noone wants to use a regular courier or postal services anymore. Having to sit at home, often not knowing when the courier will really come is tiresome. People just pick the package up along the way to/from work, groceries etc.

We have different definitions of poor. I’ve been what I’d call poor, and when I was in that state there wasn’t any room in my budget for things purchased on Amazon. Wal*Mart with a ride from a friend was all I had.

Counter argument: Which is good for local stores as they can compete more which will increase their profit so they can hire more people etc. It will also take a while to filter down like mentioned elsewhere.

I'm not saying these things are the case but due to the oversimplification you get these kind of responses.

Local stores also use UPS for their shipping. This hurts them too.

Hogwash, most poor people stay the hell away from UPS. 99.99% of the time the USPS is a better deal when hurting for cash.

UPS could also just lower their profits a little, but somehow that’s blasphemy but laborers asking for more money is not? That’s an incredibly lopsided take.
