They waste a lot of money on shipping. Today I got three bubble envelopes with products. All were two-day Prime so three deliveries instead of one. Combined it would have been under a pound but because they don’t have a system that combines duplicate address orders, they paid too much.

One had a cloth wallet, one a cloth shopping bag and the other had a phone case. Yep, I should have ordered all at once, but I think of things I need or something breaks. The phone case broke after three weeks so I replaced it. Amazon said to toss the broken one or donate it!

If their software flagged duplicate addresses, it would save employee time, packaging materials, shipping costs and more.

Amazon is an amazon or behemoth but Walmart and Target are competing hard. I buy online from Walmart and ship to stores. Free shipping and saves time looking for that item you can never find or is sold out.

Four-pack of diet Dr Pepper bottles is $3.50 in store but $2.50 online. Bought eight packs so saved $8 shopping online. In store they only have a few on shelves usually anyway.

Amazon gets $4.99 last time I checked. Not sure if bottle deposit is waived.
