Question about buying from Amazon . . .

On 1/6/15 I bought a new charger and battery for my Lenovo laptop from Amazon. The Amazon warehouse is in west Phoenix. I live in Phoenix.
I went online to where I could track the package. It looks like it is going to the "seller" (back east) then will come back to Phoenix where I live.
This seems confusing to me.
It did not say that the "package" was being sent from the "seller" to Phoenix. It said the package was being sent from Amazon (Phoenix) to the seller (New Jersey I guess) then back. Just seems confusing to me.
Why didn't Amazon just send the things from their warehouse right to my door?

Whoever was the seller is probably drop shipping it to you. They don't actually have the product you ordered, they ship it from their affiliate.

Except for my liquor, I buy everything from Amazon ... and use Amazon Prime for free two-day shipping. Two days. Free. Hard to beat.

So yes, I'm a fan of Amazon ... especially Amazon Prime. I leave up to Amazon how to get it to me in two days. Next time, it very well may be dropped onto my porch with a drone.

The next day I thought that I also could use an extra computer mouse. If I had ordered it from Amazon with the other stuff if would have made made my order eligible for free shipping.

We also buy a lot from Amazon, but unlike Kane we never sprung for Prime. We usually wait until we have over $35 bucks and do the free shipping thing. Down side with that is at times there seems to be no rhyme or reason to their shipping. We always get our stuff though and that's the main thing.
