Mountain Dew and Halo 3 have teamed up. This is a match made in hell.

I recently asked Jesse from Alternative Tentacles about why their mailorder only goes out once every two weeks. His response?

Because the way we process them isn't integrated into the rest of our system. It's a lot more cumbersome and time-consuming then on-line, phone, or fax orders. Combine that with only getting a tiny amount per week (I think the last 2 week total # was 11, and that's on the high end, usually it's around 8), and whammo, that's why.

Excuse me? Cumbersome? What exactly is cumbersome about it? The process is fairly simple: When the letter arrives, you take the order, see if you have the merchandise, and if you do, you pile it up on top of the order. When the order is compiled, you send out the completed order like you would one that was made using the internet. What difference does it maken it arrived and how?
