As do I.   I am partially disabled and have not entered a shop for many years.

Unless I want to rely on friends and family for everything I have to buy online.

 

Despite many years in the courier industry myself and 2 family members still in the industry I know that AP is still the most reliable delivery method.

 

If this is not what happens in you area then I can understand your annoyance, but it is not a good idea to try to get sellers to change everything for you.   There are probably a lot more buyers happy with AP than couriers.
