What you say is true for small-volume shippers, but for larger volumes, multiple boxes in one consignment are the norm and cost only a little more than separate boxes. It makes sense: they're all collected together so that doesn't cost extra, the extra database records cost practically nothing, handling them at the depot takes only marginally longer and it's mostly automated anyway, and delivery takes only seconds more than a single box (the driver comes to your house only once and delivers them all in one go).
