Amazon splitting orders

recipio

OK, I know this has been flagged before. I ordered 3 sets of fretsaw blades ( lighter than a biro ) and had three packages delivered to PM. For crying out loud ......:eek:
I have the 'process into one package' box clicked but for the life of me can't find it on Amazon. Is it only on checkout or am I having a senior moment. ?

You have that option on the last page when ordering.

Choose a delivery preference:
Group my items into as few deliveries as possible
I want my items faster. Dispatch items as they become available.

But even if you selected "Group my items into as few deliveries as possible" they might post in separate parcels.

Amazon don't store every single thing they sell in one big warehouse, instead stock can be spread out amongst the warehouses in UK and even Europe.

This means that even if you group items to as few a shipments as possible it's no guarantee they'll all shop in one box.

This won't affect what amazon charge for shipping,

Thanks, I simply ticked three of the exact same item. I wouldn't have ordered if I knew they were going to split them and cost me 11.85 euro with PM. It would make me stick to one item only in future.

But it is a problem if you are using parcel motel. Has happened to me a few times and its a pain.
