After the blanket is picked, it moves along conveyors for packing. Along the way, a computer system scans and tracks progress, weighing the box once it's packed to ensure the order is correct. Once labelled, the box is sent to a waiting lorry based on shipping method, speed of delivery, and location.

Presumably the goods have been stolen before shipping, with substitution to keep the weight correct for Amazon checks.
