We try to package our product to be as efficient to ship as possible. This is especially important since our product can ship UPS and we don't want our customers to incur unnecessary shipping fees. This is why our 1-packs and 4-packs can be a little tricky at first. In short, what you need to know is this:
4 packs are isolated. You can buy 4 packs of posts, and 4 packs of anchors. Due to weight restrictions, you cannot buy 4 packs of posts and anchors together. This is a good thing as you wouldn't want to lift one of those boxes! All 4 packs of posts and anchors are sold separately. 90% of the time you need anchors with your posts, so if you order a 4 pack of posts, you need a 4 pack of anchors, or vice versa.
Not every fence project is perfectly divisible by 4, so this is why we offer supplemental 1 packs. However, shipping 1 post and 1 anchor in separate boxes becomes inefficient and expensive. For this very reason, we package them together.
So just to give an example, if you needed 6 posts for a project, you would need the following:

Because the aluminum fence posts and anchors are lighter, the posts and anchors are always packaged together, regardless of 1 packs or 4 packs. Therefore, you don't need to order posts seprately from anchors.
