Amazon does currently have to pay for the somewhat expensive delivery of single items to your house or place of work, so it's not all good.

Also the convenience that the parent talks about is not what I'd call convenient. Basically the last 4 times I went to a store, they didn't have the thing I wanted, or it was out of stock. And most of the time I want to go to a store, it's not open.

I assume this is at least partially cancelled out by not having to deliver items to stores.

Not true, you have to pay for shipping for most items, especially the heavy ones.
