Physical stores are hardly going anywhere. Plus many now have their own websites. The problem is so many people think Amazon is the only game In town.As i said before Amazons prices are not as cheap as people tend to think. Yeah 5 years ago they were maybe 10 percent lower but that is just not the case anymore.
Plus you will always have people that need their items TODAY....not tomorrow or next week. You will always have people that want a quick turn around on returns....you won't get any of this with Amazon. Unless they start to have return facilities and pickup facilities, which would end up being physical stores.
Oh and another thing about constant deliveries to ones home .....porch pirates have grown exponentially over the years.....
