Honestly this is absurd. These death machines shouldn't be legal in europe. That thing doesn't even fit in the parking space, even though the parking lot has the biggest spaces in the whole city. The ~~Golf~~ Polo is so small in comparison, it could even hide in front of the engine hood of the truck.

EDIT: It's a Polo and not a Golf, I don't know my cars, sorry for that!

I hate that you're being downvoted for asking a genuine question about cultural differences. Do better, Lemmy.

I'm not from there. I'm curious how it works. There are many places in the US that are remote. Hauling stuff around is far more common.

Why haul it yourself when you could let professionals do it for you? Faster, better, cheaper, more convenient

Most places in the US will deliver it, however it could take up to a week or two for delivery depending on where you live and what store you are shopping at. This biggest problem, living in the US, is everyone wants instant gratification, they don't want to wait for their purchase if they don't have to, and in some case you can't wait that long.

Depends. Time and money. Some services are crap.
