A few months ago, I had to order about 130 copies of the same book from amazon.com all of them to be delivered to a different address, but paid from the same CC. While the orders went through, Amazon didn't like this and eventually sent us an email roughly saying to stop doing this (which we did, it was a 1 time thing) It was a PITA, having to enter in each of the addresses, going through the checkout process 130 times, etc... but was easier then having all 130 shipped to my address, then re-packing them and mailing them out individually. I don't think I'd build any kind of business around doing it this way; they appear to not like it.

Could you perhaps send me a copy of that email (with identifying details blocked out if you want?) It would hopefully mention which part of terms doesn't allow it. Also, would ordering it as a gift make any difference?

    That seems specifically Prime, which I don't have and isn't important to my idea. The page linked says >Prime members are not permitted to purchase products for the purpose of resale, rental, or to ship to their customers or potential customers using Prime benefits. I can't find similar language in the regular terms.
