technology is always changing (and often improving) but so are customer expectations. as mentioned earlier
trust

ship / return expectations
People have evolving expectations when it comes to shiping and returns. Free shipping has become expected for many people. This is a cost for the retailer but customers are becoming used to getting free shipping and in some cases free returns. Stores such as zappos have free shipping and returns for up to a year. As people start to expect this it can have a real impact in business models.
