I order the Wheels bottles of bearings, mostly from Amazon.
What makes you think whomever fills those bottles for Wheels (undoubtedly just private labelled for them) is actually doing that? They are probably not even counted and filled by weight. Unless some purchaser requires documentation of lots/heats/production runs it doesn't happen in the real world and will be charged for accordingly if required. Certainly not for low speed/torque/loading/tolerance applications such as bicycles.
