The growing popularity of e-shopping holds the potential to reduce shopping trips. It is very important for informing urban planning and optimizing transportation systems to identify the destinations and modes of shopping trips replaced by e-shopping. To the best of our knowledge, however, very little prior research examines this issue. This study attempts to characterize the destinations and modes of shopping trips substituted by e-shopping, based on stated preference survey data from Chengdu, China. The findings indicate that e-shopping significantly substitutes shopping trips, with variations depending on destination type and travel mode. Specifically, e-shopping shows a stronger substitution effect for trips to nearby shopping malls or by public transit. Notably, the destinations of replaced shopping trips vary by product type, with a significantly stronger substitution effect on trips to community stores (e.g., convenience stores or retail outlets near residential areas) for daily goods. Similarly, the travel modes of replaced shopping trips differ by destination, with a substantially stronger substitution effect on active mode trips to community stores. The study also highlights diverse factors influencing these substitution effects, offering valuable insights for urban transportation planning and policymaking. • Using stated preference survey data, this study investigates the destinations and modes of shopping trips replaced by e-shopping. • The results indicate a stronger substitution effect of e-shopping on trips to nearby shopping malls or by public transit. • E-shopping shows a stronger substitution effect on trips to community stores for daily goods. • E-shopping has a stronger substitution effect on active mode trips to community stores
