Absolutely. It's even worse for the cheapo courier services that are often used -- in central London, these can be a 90-minute journey away, and keep the same sorts of hours you mention.
Yap. Just went this morning to the depot closer to my home which is around one hour away (and that's because I use the DLR, otherwise I would walk for maybe those 90 minutes you talk about). This for two DVDs...
