Amazon

Back before Thanksgiving I ordered 9 items from Amazon. No special hot shipping, ship at at once in one package. Very simple, yes?

OK, so they email me there will be three shipments;
package A Items 1,2,3&4.
package B Item 5.
package C Items 6,7,8&9.
No problem, they're probably coming from different locations, best way.

7 days ago, on the same damn day;
Email ~ Items 1&2 have shipped.
Email ~ Item 3 has shipped

6 days ago;
Email ~ Item 5 has shipped

Today;
Email ~ Item 6 has shipped
Email ~ Item 7 has shipped

I should point out items 6,7,8&9 are just tee shirts, different colors, same size, same source. And none of the 9 items weighs more than 2 pounds.
Neither Amazon, nor the companies that are drop shipping, have their shit together, nor do they care that receiving this order in what appears will be 8 shipments, has any impact on the buyer. I'm fairly fortunate it's not a big problem for me, except the asshole Fedex, but for many people being there to recieve the package is the only way they'll get it.

Oh, and they're wasting cardboard.
