Vi's analogy is wrong on a subtle but important point. In the analogy, the delivery company needs to get a bunch of new trucks to handle the delivery but as the customer is paying for each delivery instances, the delivery company's costs are covered by increased end-user charges.
Two words nuke your suggestion here: Amazon Prime
Once you build the capacity to reach every delivery point every-day it's maybe not enough to hope that people utilize that facility . decreasing the cost per package requires higher unit volume. The incremental cost of delivering the second package is much lower than the first.
