Not a business plan for success...
Got a coupon from a sporting good store and after some surfing, decided to get four boxes of sporting good supplies that go bang when used in the proper equipment. And given the diameter, I got it for well under $13 a box. Free shipping too! Did not even need to leave the house!
Well, today as I drove into my driveway, I saw "one" package and I was like cool, a computer part that I had ordered from Amazon was here. Package was large, but hell, I am not Amazon, they can do what they want. As I retrieved it, I saw that it was two smaller, identical packages placed together. I saw the familiar label used for shipping hazardous items in the US and thought cool, my stuff that goes bang is here. The computer part will come later.
Once inside, I opened the first box. Tons o' wrapping paper and at the bottom, one box of banging stuff. Good looking stuff. Well, the other three must be in the other box. As I picked it up, I was like no, it feels like one box. Sure enough, it was one box.
So I was kind of getting upset thinking they lost my other two boxes or whatever, so I got on their website and tracked the order. Would you believe that they shipped four boxes of 50 from four different locations, AL, IL, TN, WI?
That has got to hurt on the profitability!
Submitted for your humor.

Strangely the same thing happened to me, but not with Wile E. Coyote strap-on flight boosters. I get mine right down the road from me at ACME Flight Booster Depot.
I bought 3 shirts and 2 pants with free shipping from a popular men’s store and have thus far received 4 packages. Still missing one that is scheduled for delivery today.
