    I always felt that all the startups that provide service of picking one of the items, such as glasses or clothing then returning the rest -- are terrible for the environment.

    This article explains that this is in fact terrible for the environment and why -- https://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/online-shopping-carbon-footprint-1.4914942

      Have you ever picked two-day shipping because it's free with an Amazon Prime membership? Or bought several sizes of shoes online, planning to return the ones that didn't fit? Such choices are terrible for the environment.

      To reduce carbon footprint, or I just like getting package from the post office, I've signed up for Canada Post flex delivery, but there's one big problem with this system -- if the package doesn't have tracking information, like cheapest tracking on aliexpress, I won't get notified when the package arrives. Which makes me not trust the system.
