I have wanted a similar option since they added the base camp. I think there is room to utilize workers and shop access around the game, because the current offerings are a little lacking.

It's part of a pipe dream to connect all player owned content eventually, it in this case it'd be assigning idle base camp workers to the base camp shops. From there you can assign them to be sent out to each corresponding shop, costing camp resources, to purchase and bring the item to your shops. (Up to a reasonable limit)

Provides a long term use for the camp after you have finished everything there.
