A method and system for efficient package delivery in bulk to pickup
locations for recipients in which items ordered by different customers
from one or more different retailers, suppliers, manufacturers, and the
like can be sorted within and picked from an on-hand inventory at a
distribution center and packed into a package for delivery to a specific
pickup location for a specific recipient. A replenishment order for items
to replace the on-hand inventory at the distribution center can be made
to a fulfillment location to maintain inventory levels defined for an
item at a distribution center. The items to replenish the on-hand
inventory at the distribution center can be shipped in bulk from a
fulfillment location in containers organized by item identifier. The
items can be sorted at a different distribution center, still organized
within containers of all the same item identifier, to reach the
distribution center placing the replenishment order for the items.
