The idea is to free customers from needing to drive around on errands.
It's also one thing to shop on line, but another to receive a constant stream of packages in the mail ... not so great. So, we let you assemble, over time, on bigger delivery.
Instead of treating the web store shopping cart or basket (or bag, as I saw it described at one site, yesterday) as a pure symbol, we treat it literally, as a virtual reality construct. As you add items to your order, you pack them, in a virtual reality environment, into a box - which you select from a display of alternatives. Naturally, as your order changes, you can choose different boxes, and re-pack any way you like. And, of course, you can pack several boxes at once, and then we will do our best to deliver them all at one time.
There's a certain amount of planning required to make such a project, on the part of the customer, really work, so we support that, too, the key question being "what items will make my life wonderful this (week, month, year, etc.).
(This is more than asking just which items we need ... it's about how we can assess products for superb quality and "fit." More on that elsewhere ...)

Could be especially practical for those of us who must GO OUT and pick up our packages (ie no USPS home delivery)
