You basically don't get it. A corporate account is different than an individual account. A business could just use one account and have locations all over the country.
Some people just don't get IT.
I suppose I was never initiated into the details of how corporate accounts work. I apologize for being so frightfully uneducated.
Your explanation is lacking, though, because it merely states that the way it is is the way it is. Brilliant. Thanks for your polite reply anyway. I would expect a shipping label to reflect the location where the item is posted. That that's in actuality is not the case may well be so, but I still have not heard an explanation how and why it works the way it does.

I spent 10 years in IT (information technology). There's lot of reasons why things are done they way they are done. After a while you get used to it. There wasn't nothing really wrong with what you posted. Your expectations just didn't match up with how business is done which I attribute to a lack of business experience. For you to really get it would probably require you to work in corporate IT for a few years. Otherwise the answer that it's the way it is will have to do. You should see what SAP consultants get when designing corporate systems.
Basically your thinking is limited to the local level when you're looking at a system at the corporate level.
