So, I ordered a comforter, sheets, pillows and mattress pad from Overstock.com

[JulesMaximus]

The pillows and comforter were delivered Tuesday via UPS, the mattress pad is being delivered via Fed Ex today and the sheets are being delivered today via UPS.

I don't get this. It costs them more and it is wasteful having 3 different trucks come to my house to deliver this stuff. Not to mention the delivery guys coming out to my house on 3 different occasions. Waste waste waste...

3 different warehouses and/or drop-ship suppliers.

woulkd you rather have them hold the mattress pad and pillows until January if the sheets were backordered?

I once put a filler for paper clips on Staples, and they sent that by itself via UPS!
