    Also the environment doesn’t need more vans driving everywhere, three times per week.

    Would you rather 100 people in my hood make the 22-mile round trip to Walmart in their individual cars and trucks? Also, there’s a man that delivers most of my Amazon stuff. He’s drives a little square, red, white, and blue car. He comes by everyday anyway, might as well bring my Amazon.

      That’s not how it works though. Not where I live. If I order 3 packages, two or three vans will come to deliver it. Even if I order it at the same shop, sometimes it’ll still come on different days, with different vans

        Either they’re coming from different warehouses, Amazon has an optimization problem to solve, or both.

        Either way, though, your pathological edge case is hardly the rule.
