I'm torn. On one hand I can see how it'd be super helpful and save me money (and time on deliveries) and there's a lot of stuff that I could probably buy on Amazon that I don't right now. On the other hand, I would probably be encouraged to buy a ton of shit that I don't need. And I certainly wouldn't be doing my local economy or the environment any favors.
