I work at one of those places! I'm one of the people who physically puts the order in the boxes (which, btw, I have to make each box myself. they don't come pre-made like I'm some namby-pamby).

It's pretty eye opening what people will put in a single order. The one that has made me the most uncomfortable would have to be a copy of the new testament, a children's book, and a penis pump. the straight-up strangest order I ever fulfilled was an instruction book on bondage knots, a copy of Mein Kampf, and a digital camera. the camera just changed it from strange to straaaaaange.

That's awesome. Thanks for sharing.

I find Amazon warehouse logistics fascinating because of the scale at which they're operating, especially because even fulfillment at a small warehouse can be a nightmare.

I'm a big fan of Jeff Bezos' business/technology savvy both in warehouse and on website. The latter is designed with so much forethought and completeness that I've been surprised on several occasions the unusual use cases they support.
