I wish Amazon would offer some "green" packaging for items not needed immediately. Pool them and then send them out together, not in 5 different packages by 3 delivery companies.

They do offer that in the Amazon Day program - "Order throughout the week and select FREE Amazon Day Delivery to get all your items in fewer boxes on a single day"

Cool, may I ask in which country you live? Unfortunately it's not (yet) available here in Germany.

This seems to be available only in US unfortunately. https://techcrunch.com/2019/02/28/amazon-prime-members-can-c...

I ordered some Christmas presents to be delivered to my parents' house yesterday and was amused to see that I could choose to have them delivered on my Amazon Day.

Seems like Amazon Day should be tied to an address, not an account, but I guess it's an edge-case not worth addressing.

In addition to the other commenter's "Amazon Day Delivery" option, I often also have another option of "No rush delivery" which usually includes $1-$5 credit for digital items (ebooks, music, movies...) - https://imgur.com/a/XtmOmv3

Agreed. The amount of superfluous packaging is sickening. I dont need russian nesting dolls of packaging. Especially when most stuff is not even breakable or at least is not fragile.

Then sign up for a delivery day for items that you don't need right away. That's what I do. It's pretty simple.
