Britain is slightly larger than Florida. Here in Canada, my girlfriend's parents live in the next city west of us, yet driving for a visit is about equivalent to driving from London to Edinburgh and takes about six hours each way.
Next-day delivery is no big deal in Britain, but it is in North America. One of the reasons I buy more from local stores here than I did in Britain is that I'll typically have to wait a week or more for anything I order online to turn up.
