really, Amazon? REALLY???

Even though I clicked "send my orders in as few shipments as possible" I still get seven?SEVEN?separate emails telling me they've shipped my orders...separately. wtf?! What a waste. DH said there's four boxes at home right now and there's 3 more on the way.

Apparently, they even shipped the pirate tattoos I ordered separately. Grr.

I noticed that, too.  I ordered a few items as a gift and wanted them shipped at the same time, but they shipped separately.  What's the point of having that option if they're going to ignore it?

Amazon's business model is distribution; they don't really keep inventory.  They ship from multiple vendors and locations.

I just don't know how they make money shipping a $5.00, 14" Olivia doll (that was made in China) across the country in 2 days, in a 6X6X18 box.  Slim margins!  I have been liking their deals this Christmas.

I'm beginning to think the company's name is describing the forest they're killing with all the cardboard they're using!  Love their deals and free shipping, but the packaging and single-item shipping is a bit much.  My living room looks like an Amazon.com warehouse right now
