The resistors to your local store have to go through logistics as well. And doing the last mile yourself is a lot more inefficient than a post service doing it.
Transport is also quite small fraction of most products' environmental costs.

How do you figure?
One guy driving a route between 100 places is probably more efficient than 100 people all driving to and from a place.
Ah, you're assuming the customer is driving a car. That had skipped my mind, but this story is about the USA so it's probably a valid assumption.
