  When using order combination, it is important to ensure that all of the orders being combined are for the same customer and have the same delivery address. This will help ensure that all of the orders are processed correctly and arrive at the correct destination. Additionally, customers should always double-check their orders before submitting them to make sure that all of the information is correct.
