It's amazing to me that the Amazon delivery system makes any money doing things the way it does. We have a fulfillment center within an hours drive of us.
Lo and behold, when I order dishwasher clips and a mechanical pencil they send two orders in two oversized packages for each item placed on the same order. That's a lot of gas and manpower for two very small items.
One might think that they could streamline their logistics and package them both in the same (even smaller) envelope and deliver them at one time.
If I ran my business like that, I'd be out of work within a week.
And sure, you know they make it up with volume, but come on, that's just poor planning.
