What's happening is to save space Amazon stores all items of the same likeness in bulk containers. The worker who fills the order just picks up one from the container. This is why buying memory cards (micro SD and so on) is such a crapshoot these days on Amazon. They aren't necessarily shipping you what the independent seller shipped them. They're shipping you one from a bulk container with the contents that many independent sellers shipped them.
