Other than food, I probably buy 90% of my stuff online. USPS, by the way has gotten much, much better.
The years ago I would have agreed with Golfingnut's assessment, but things have changed dramatically.
Years ago after USPS lost a shipment of mine and had no real tracking system I vowed never to used them again. Recently friends have convinced me to try them and they are now at least as good and maybe better than Fed-Ex and UPS.
I have no interest in "people watching" and I don't understand the pleasure one gets from going to a store. To me it is a necessary chore that I want to get over with as soon as possible.
