what isn't to love about this, oh look i'm running out of bog roll so I push the button ordering more....a little while later it arrives - probably the next day with 0 p & p as i have amazon prime.

I get lots of small deliveries of whatever i need an can spend less time shopping - perfect.

This is the part that bothers me most. A lot of small deliveries are convenient and all, but the cost to ship multiple small items (maybe separately) to your door has an impact.

We are currently in a single-serve consumer-focused environment and this takes it a step farther.. potentially a single item shipment environment.

Unless they batch days or a full week, I think this is a bad habit to get in.
