Two days ago I ordered separate One-click orders white spoons (Qty 2) for $7 and yellow spoon (Qty 1) for $11.55. The spoons turn out identical except for color with the makers name embossed in the molding, 8.5 inches long.
Why the yellow costs so much more than the white is beyond me. But all I can say is my wife was adamant she wanted a yellow one regardless of the ridiculous cost difference.
Next they turn up in two packages today on one truck, one package having one white spoon and one having one white spoon and one yellow spoon.
When I look at the shipping/tracking they split the order of 2 white spoons into 2 shipment and combined one white spoon with the yellow spoon to ship in a second shipment.
I cannot for the life of me fathom the logic that went into that series of computer-driven decisions.

- why didn't they just ship the 2 white ones together (one order) and one white one another order, I could understand that even though not the most efficient
- Why didn't they use their normal logic and combine both orders into one shipment? Obviously they came from the same warehouse (or maybe not)
- Why didn't they combine any of those with the two other packages that came on the same truck (separate orders, all) at the same time.
