Those same people who will save $4.50 by using the reusable bags also wouldn't think of paying for delivery. And the reusable bags are much more likely to be recycled or used for other purposes.

But also where I am people deliver 100% in boxes. That's an easy enough way to solve it. Also makes the delivery of a heavy load easier because you just drop the box on a dolly or similar.

In a number of cases, yes.

I'm not remarking that the premise is entirely without merit, just that there's some emergent cases where it actively made things worse.
