Sorry, the futuristic rail system will arrive a little later. Two steps forward, one step back. Right-sizing the boxes goes a long way towards using extra capacity. If you don't need them the next day, is shipping them in tractor trailers that much better?

Also, having the product carried the entire way in bulk, large-scale transport filled to the brim seems a might more efficient than little single-occupancy vehicles all converging on a retailer miles from their own homes.
I suspect we'd all save a lot of fuel if somehow all products were delivered to the home instead of forcing cars and SUVs onto the road to retrieve them piecemeal.
