It's a clever idea, where you can select a group of interchangeable parts and it will supposedly choose for you to minimize shipping, but most of the time it doesn't work right. It will pick a whole different group of you start over, adding them in a different order. A lot of times it will insist on shipping from two locations until I manually futz with it a lot, removing parts and re-adding them, until it "realizes" they can all ship from the same location. I don't know what the algorithm is, but it needs a lot of work.
