**5. Conclusion**

Accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, curbside-pickup-from-store and home-delivery-from-store are growing explosively into the new normal and the postpandemic era beyond that. Curbside pickup will remain the larger option between the two, while home delivery is ripening quickly. This chapter not only provides a comprehensive review of the current advances of those important retail channel formats but also offers a set of new points of view, such as a set of new shopping channel typologies and frameworks, as well as making a list of predictions of their future directions. We hope that our discussion is of help to both scholars and practitioners to better understand the fast-evolving consumer behavior beyond the pandemic.
