I don't want delivery, I want to order online and pick up my goods already in a bag.
I have been using this heavily because we moved during the pandemic, and IKEA only offered such a pick up service (called "Click&Collect" in Germany). A supermarket here also offers such a service. It is extremely convenient and time-saving. Previously, a trip to IKEA usually took an entire afternoon, which is tiring especially if you have children. With "Click&Collect", you spend 30-60 minutes on your couch, reading product reviews, and you can directly measure whether some piece of furniture fits into your apartment. Pickup then usually took 5-10 minutes, everything is already on carts, you just have to load it into your car.
You don’t need a refrigerated van if you’re driving your one order straight home from the market. We didn’t even AC in the cars when I was young and it was fine. Refrigerated vans are a solution to a problem largely introduced by the use of refrigerated vans for delivery of multiple orders.
