Dear Mr. Dogra,
Thanks for writing to us at Amazon.com!
I'm glad to hear you are interested in our new Auctions service. We're really excited about our newest venture, and I encourage you to visit this section when you get a chance.
In regards to your suggestion, at this time we have not added the capability for customers to have items sent to multiple addresses in a *single* order. If customers want to send items to multiple addresses, they still must place separate orders for each address.
Please know, your suggestion has been passed along to the appropriate department in our company and is being reviewed. Please don't hesitate to contact us should you have any further questions or comments, and thanks for shopping at Amazon.com!
Best regards,
Anthony Lopez

This is an important message for Mr. Jeffrey P Bezos.
Dear Mr. Bezos,
I am surprised to find that Amazon does not offer a simple facility which we in normal parlance term as "ship to multiple addresses" of the same order. Let me try to explain in more detail : I want to send a particular book "ABCD EFGH" to 27 of my associates using Amazon's gifting facility. For this I been instructed by your team to enter my order 27 times !!! It takes about 4 -5 minutes to enter one order and I am supposed to take 27*5 = 135 minutes doing ordering ????
Simple systems of purchase have a facility to order one item and deliver it to multiple locations. Infact, my company has developed over 100 such systems and a ERP system which caters to this facility. I don't see a
reason why such a facility is not available at Amazon.com.
I am sure that incorporation of such a facility will increase your sales multifold. Do let me have your feedback and we shall be too willing to assist Amazon implement such a system.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year.
Regards,
Prakash C Dogra

Thanks for writing to us at Amazon.com!
All of the items on an order must go to the same address, so you will need to place a separate order if you wish to have any items sent as a gift. To place a gift order, simply mark the appropriate gift option on Step 3 of the online order form.
For gift orders we will not include prices on the packing slip. You can include a personalized gift message in your order. These services are free of charge. We also offer gift wrapping, for which we charge $2.00 per order.
You can then specify the name and shipping address of the recipient on the shipping address page. If you are sending gifts to different people in the same household, you will want to place separate orders for each recipient, or else indicate in the gift message which item is intended for which recipient.
Please note that if you request shipment of an order to a new address(one you haven't used with us before with the credit card(s) we have on file for you) we ask you to reconfirm the credit card for your own security. This way, should some third party guess your password and attempt to order items for themselves on your account, the attempt would fail. We hope you'll understand that this is a valuable security precaution designed to protect our customers.
Feel free to write back if you have any further questions, and thanks for shopping at Amazon.com!
