Absurd split shipment quantities. Algorithm is broken, or not programmed correctly.
I normally ship full pallets. When I see the split shipment suggestions from Amazon, I have to laugh at the choices that their algorithm chooses in their splits. Imagine suggesting suggesting 3 pallets from my one single pallet and the numbers are 28, 9 and 1.
Who the heck would ship one small box on a huge pallet? That's gonna get lost for sure. I regularly get suggestions of 4-7 boxes on a single pallet. Do any of you do that? I would never. And the shipping costs for 3 locations does not beat the reduction of placement fees. So this whole exercise is all for nothing and looks like a money grab.
So, I end up sending one pallet to one location and have to eat the full cost of the placement fee, soon to be added to my retail price.

Pretty sure you can choose to send some LTL and other SPD.
