Random Thoughts...or...What's on Your Mind?

Same thing happened to me last week.
Ordered a book and two CDs from Amazon.
Thought they would all come in one package.
Instead, one CD was delivered by UPS and left on my doorstep.
The book was delivered by the post office and left in my mailbox.
The second CD was left in an Amazon locker down the street from me, that I had to drive to and get a code from Amazon to open the locker
All on the same day.
WTF?!

Amazon gets stuff from different vendors. It's not all just piled in one humongous warehouse somewhere.

^that's correct. Amazon has over a thousand distribution centers. There's one just across the freeway from my house. Not everything I order is going to come from that facility.

My local watering hole across the street from the garage is holding an 80s themed event in a couple of weeks with the title, "Mrs. Roaper's Romper Room" and the 80s cover band Yatchtley Crew.​

That kind of sucks

Not sure if they still do this as I have never ordered multiple separate items but in they used to have an option for grouping all items into as fewer shipments as possible

That's what I thought I chose at checkout.
It had the the option of fewest packages or fastest delivery.

As said above, not every Amazon warehouse has everything. Only some of them have the big stuff like furniture and TVs. Not the best use of resources if every single Amazon warehouse has a copy of From Justin To Kelly on DVD.
