For many, it's rare to go a week and not receive a package at their door. And for some, we've gone from waiting 7-10 days for an order to sometimes less than two hours.

The way we shop has changed with how fast our fingertips can press the checkout button. It's a phenomenon called the "Now Economy."

While online orders make up a small percentage of overall retail sales, it's growing fast--ecommerce sales grew 15.1 percent year-over-year in 2016, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce.
