I don't see why the mosaic should be hard for them to ship. Ultimately,
because of how it's packaged, its just a group of sets which are ordered
in a somewhat bizarre way. Ok, I guess they do package the thing into a
"set" box, and then into a shipping box, and not just throw a bunch of
sets into a shipping box, but really, how is this any different than
ordering any other collection of sets? They do a pretty good job of
packing those orders (I've never seen a mistake there).
Now I guess they fact that the bags for the mosaic aren't given set
numbers may cause problems. If I was setting up the system for the
mosaic, I would have given each bag a set number (including the "set"
box if you really feel it's necessary). Then the only difficult issue
would be the instructions. I'd even make it easy for folks who really
just want the 1x1 plates and don't really care about the mosaic by
making the individual bags available the same way the bulk packs are.
They clearly mostly implemented it the smart way. They aren't trying to
package 1323 white plates, 27 grey plates and 611 black plates or
whatever.
