In the old method, I could create a shipment with one keystroke and 8 mouse clicks, to ship in 30 books.
With the new "streamlined" system, the total number of keystroke/clicks is well over 100 (IIRC, about 170, but I'm not going to double check). Takes about 5 times as long to create a shipment now. (and that's not even counting the time required to download the SKU list and sort it, since it's no longer in SKU order if we just print it).
So PLEASE. No more "streamlining".
