On the notice board in my local supermarket, there are about 10 man and a van business cards pinned on. I'd probably call the one with the cutest logo.
That's the cultural difference. In the US, we like to do things ourselves, no matter the cost.
It's funny because of the wasted resources.
I wouldn't say no matter the cost, but if the income is disposable, yes, we'd prefer to be able to do something when we want and not based on the schedule of a company/vendor we'd have to have the service provided by.

A great example? Look how popular 24 hour Walmarts are.
