eCommerce Store without having a car - Is this a bad idea?

[IMpossible]

Hey guys,

does anyone of you operate an eCommerce store without having a car?
If yes, how do you transport the packages to the postal office?

Depens of the distance you can walk or taxi maybe

Contact a shipping courier (UPS,DHL Fedex etc) via the site and you can have a collection made at your home.

The distance is like 5 minutes from my door.
The problem is the packages themselves.
Each of them weights around 1 kg, and there's no way I could put them in a bag or something and transport them by myself.

get a traveller backpack you can carry a few there
1kg its no problem at all !

Just use amazon dropshipping

Walk it there, or use courier - in uk there is parcel money, you can send parcels really cheap and the collect from your house.
otherwise, get push bike with basket on the front

I am 900% sure with fedex you can get them to pick up the parcel at your location

There are so many options that you can take, if you feel like it is such a hassle to bring them to the nearest courier to you. You can work with Amazon drop-shipping if you really want sheer convenience. But DHL and FedEx can be the best options for you since you can set schedules for them to pick-up the parcels from your location.

If all above suggestions didn't work, then just buy a car.

If it's so close to you and you don't want to buy a car, just get/borrow one of those big shopping carts, that should do the trick.

The ones from the shopping centers? No way hahah
