Strange amazon experience

#

Yesterday I ordered some stuff from amazon.com and realized something quite strange.

First of all, 2 items were going to be shipped from some other stores, not amazon. That’s fine. But what was bad was that each of them actually sent me separate emails confirming the order was shipped and each had their own tracking numbers.

On top of that, amazon was able to ship the other two products in two different shipments!

So at this point I have apparently one order, but with 4 shipments! Unbelievable.

Amazon should tweak their software so that those notification emails come from and are managed through amazon’s shopping interface. At least that way I am not scared of so many different stores for one shopping outing.

So now, I have to wait for 4 different shipments at the door :-(
