Abstract: Same Day Delivery (SDD) online shopping may generate different influences on physical store shopping from conventional online shopping, but few studies have explored this new and burgeoning channel and its impacts. Using retrospective survey data in Nanjing, this study investigates the impacts of SDD online shopping on local store shopping. Quasi-longitudinal analyses of the retrospective data show that SDD online shopping substitutes for local store shopping, and that changes in local shopping are associated with SDD online shopping frequency. These results suggest that SDD online shopping may change local shopping travel and alter the distribution of commercial land uses over time. Moreover, a comparison between quasi-longitudinal and cross-sectional analyses suggests that cross-sectional results are not reliable. Future studies should move beyond cross-sectional design.
