Step 1: Wait for somebody to buy two items at the same time from OCUK.
Step 2: Collect both items from OCUK and transit to your local depot.
Step 3: Put items onto two separate vehicles and send them both on 4 +hour journeys to a place 2 miles away.
Step 4: Brag on your website about how you're "Carbon neutral commitment".

:p
 
Making the special trip to put both on the same van probably works out as less efficient than just rejigging their routes to include you.
 
Or maybe both items are in the same box and they have sent you a revised time based on a previous order being cancelled/"gone missing"? I've had revised times from DPD a couple of times, but usually when running late.

Nope, each (smallish) parcel was collected from the local depot by separate drivers (Jodie and Diane) lol.

I can imagine it in the depot "Okay Jodie you take this box, hmm I don't think you have room for the HDMI cable as well, Diane you had better take that, okay have fun girls and remember to deliver everything in the most random nonsensical order possible so we win the excess mileage pool this year!" XD
 
Nobody can beat HP though with licence keys

Last place i worked I ordered 24 licence keys. Each key came stuck to the bottom of a separate box approx 60cm x 15cm x 30cm. These were then all shrink wrapped onto a pallet. I was a bit shocked when reception called me down saying there was a delivery for me and I need to come down to collect it.

All 24 licences which were just credit card size cards would have fitted in one jiffy bag.

Like Amazon's strategy of seemingly putting the smallest items into whatever size box is nearest and filling it with scrunched up brown paper. Voila now I have to go to the delivery office to collect something that should have fit in my miniscule letterbox.

That doesn't surprise me!

When i was adding several expansion shelves to one of our servers, all the drives came individually boxed, i had a pallet full of them to cut open, then take out of the anti-static bags, to insert into the shelf.
