Fwiw ordering online is more efficient on average than driving yourself.

Not where I live. It takes days for stuff to get delivered, and if I need something within the hour, I can just drive to the store, which is less than 5km from my house. I try to do my shopping in one go, but life just doesn't work out like that at times.

Delivery vehicles in my part of the world are so poorly maintained anyway, so they're really massive contributors to other kinds of pollution as well.

True, but in my experience being able to "Amazon" something to my house by 8AM tomorrow really lowers the bar for things I purchase, meaning I buy wayore than if I went to the store to get it, resulting in way more miles for my household.

A single 20km round trip can probably offset a hundred deliveries made by a van that is on a semi-fixed route.

		Yes, especially if you plan your shopping and go to a shopping complex where you can get most things you need for the month, saving a massive amount of driving time.
