Самовывоз мне удобнее, потому что пункт выдачи рядом с метро.

Yes. Самовывоз is a very common word in shopping, delivery, and online orders.

It means self-pickup: instead of having something delivered, you go and collect it yourself.

A learner-friendly way to think of it is:

• само- = self
• вывоз = taking out / transport out

But in real usage, you should treat самовывоз as a fixed retail term meaning pickup by the customer.

Example:

• Доставка или самовывоз? = Delivery or pickup?

It is a masculine noun.

Because Russian uses the dative case after words like удобно / удобно́е / удобнее when talking about what is convenient, easy, difficult, necessary, and so on for someone.

So:

• мне удобно = it is convenient for me
• мне удобнее = it is more convenient for me

Using я would be wrong here, because я is the subject form, and Russian does not express this idea the same way English does.

This pattern is very common:

• Мне холодно. = I am cold.
• Ему трудно. = It is difficult for him.
• Нам лучше. = It is better for us.

You could also say для меня самовывоз удобнее, but мне удобнее is more natural and common in everyday speech.

Удобнее is the comparative form of удобный / удобно, meaning more convenient.

So:

• удобный = convenient
• удобно = conveniently / it is convenient
• удобнее = more convenient

In this sentence, удобнее means more convenient and does not change for gender or number.

Compare:

• Самовывоз удобнее. = Self-pickup is more convenient.
• Эта доставка удобнее. = This delivery option is more convenient.
• Эти варианты удобнее. = These options are more convenient.

The form удобнее stays the same.

Because in Russian, the verb to be is normally omitted in the present tense.

So English:

• Self-pickup is more convenient
• The pickup point is near the metro

becomes Russian:

• Самовывоз удобнее
• Пункт выдачи рядом с метро

You can think of an invisible is in both parts of the sentence, but Russian usually does not say it.

This is completely normal.

Пункт выдачи means pickup point, collection point, or sometimes parcel pickup location.

Literally, it is something like:

• пункт = point, location, station
• выдача = issuing, handing out, giving out
• пункт выдачи = point of issuing / point for handing out orders

The word выдачи is in the genitive singular. Russian often uses this pattern:

noun + genitive noun

to show a relationship similar to English of or for.

Examples:

• центр города = city center
• чашка чая = cup of tea
• пункт выдачи = pickup point / point of collection

So выдачи here is not random; it is part of a very common noun pattern.

The expression is рядом с ..., which means next to / near and takes the instrumental case.

So normally:

• рядом с домом = near the house
• рядом с магазином = near the store
• рядом с метро = near the metro

The important detail is that метро is an indeclinable noun in modern Russian. That means its form usually does not change across cases.

So even though метро is in the instrumental case here, it still looks like метро.

That is why you do not see a different ending.

Yes, Russian word order is flexible, but different orders change the emphasis.

The original sentence:

• Самовывоз мне удобнее, потому что пункт выдачи рядом с метро.

sounds natural and neutral: the topic is самовывоз.

You could also say:

• Мне удобнее самовывоз, потому что пункт выдачи рядом с метро.

This puts a little more focus on for me.

In everyday Russian, both are possible, but the original version is very natural, especially when comparing options like delivery vs pickup.

Russian word order often helps show:

• what the speaker is talking about first
• what information is new or emphasized

So the order is flexible, but not meaningless.

Because потому что introduces a subordinate clause giving the reason.

The sentence has two parts:

1. Самовывоз мне удобнее
2. потому что пункт выдачи рядом с метро

In Russian, a clause introduced by потому что is normally separated by a comma.

So this is standard punctuation.

In real-life Russian, рядом с метро often means near the metro station or close to the subway in a practical sense.

Literally, метро means the metro / subway system, but in everyday speech people often use it as shorthand for a metro station or the area by the station.

So depending on context, English translations might be:

• near the metro
• near the subway
• near the metro station
• close to the subway station

All of these can be reasonable.

Yes. There are several natural alternatives, depending on style.

For example:

• Мне удобнее самовывоз, потому что пункт выдачи рядом с метро.
• Для меня самовывоз удобнее, потому что пункт выдачи рядом с метро.
• Я предпочитаю самовывоз, потому что пункт выдачи рядом с метро.

These are not exactly identical:

• мне удобнее = it is more convenient for me
• я предпочитаю = I prefer

So the original sentence focuses specifically on convenience, not just preference.
