Why I am Breaking Up With Amazon

It does happen the way OP mentioned, happens to me too when buying items for work. They can all be "from Amazon" but will ship in separate packages at split up charges.

Difference is I have a corp credit card and as long as the transactions add up in the end it's OK, and they always do. So it's not a problem.

Agreed to try to find a different way for your work to figure it out at the end of the month. Probably the more difficult, but ultimately better, solution.
 
Just look at the people whining like they are absolute dumbshits.

Signed authorizations for 9 orders. 9 orders come in. Admin wants to kno--eyebrow raise, then walk over and pull his sweater up over his head and beat him up, hockey style.

You won't get asked again, that's for sure.

I still did not get an answer if you had this all in your cart and proceeded to do a single check out. Or, if the item in question was sold and distributed by Amazon itself.

I order off Amazon a lot and have never once had this happen, unless the item was a preorder, in which, that billed (and shipped, obviously) separate of my full order.

Thought is was self-explanatory.
I can only purchase items Amazon sells and ships. No third party vendors.
I place 9 of the exact same items in my cart.
They all showed up on the same day.
My card was billed nine times and I had nine invoices.

You say you're breaking up. But one night you're going to have a couple of beers and start feeling nostalgic about all the good times and you're going to drunk click and buy something. Then you'll feel dirty the next morning try to cancel the order, but your friends were in the next room and they'll have heard the order and even if you cancel they'll keep reminding you about it for months.
 
How the fuck is everyone confusing shipping with billing? He only mentioned shipping once. The problem isn't the 9 different shipments, the actual issue is the 9 different bills (which is probably driving the 9 different shipments).

I only dumped her for work purchases. I can't get drunk at work.
She's still my bitch at home. 😀

Just the other way around though. Items shipped together are invoiced together. Unlike the OP, when I order 9 or 10 of the same items they usually come from 2 or 3 different warehouses and I end up with only 2 or 3 invoices. I spend on average of 30K a month buying shit for work and almost all the companies I work with handle invoicing like Amazon.

I just send the invoices to the main purchasing dept. and let them figure out how to add the numbers together to match the request. Sometimes they can't and I get an email asking to add three numbers together for them.
