Shops closing will ultimately means we will only get offered mass produced blandness
As shops in high streets seem to close, a mixture of charity shops and coffee shops take there place.
The internet basically offers post friendly items that in particular with electrical items seem to die just after the return period closes. Auctioneers and antiques dealers online more and more offer post friendly items.
Of course larger items can sell online even cars, but without shops displaying and holding stock, there is a tendency for everything to homogenize into one style and type dictated by the few.
Items are being made with post in mind i.e. a brush that unscrews into 3 parts, Tetbury is a typical antiques town pretty with parking and other quality bushiness, hotels and restaurants living like fleas off the main antiques shops, you will still see the Hight Street in Tetbury full of delivery vehicles collecting and delivering a good sign.
So unless you want your whole life and home designed by IKEA or Wayfair with nothing individual then if you don't shop in shops it will be the future. Places like Tetbury offer an all round shopping experience and the ability with so many small and huge shops much more choice in one place than any website.
