-A pack of plug covers is 10.00 USPS

The cart automatically combines the two items weight, right? Problem is nothing else will fit in the box with the baby gate (its packaging box is it's shipping box.) So for this order I would have to ship two separate boxes. Thus my problem. A minimum of 10.00 per order for that extra box. And as you all know when you only make 20.00 profit and 10.00 gets chewed up by shipping, you starve REAL quick.

I'm just thankful I cought this early.

I don't think there is a "button" to turn off or on to make this happen, but I'd like to be able to choose separte products and tell the shipping module to treat it as a separate order. NOT combine the shipping total weight.

At this point at the mercy of you guys, please help!!!

I have a similar problem/question.

Most of my items are fine to calculate shipping based on weight alone. However, I do have 2 items that are heavy (but small enough for a flat rate box) that I don't want shipping based on the weight - I just want those 2 items to have the flat rate added automatically.

For now, I figured out to just add the flat rate shipping into one of the items price because it's a non-taxable item so it all works out ok. However, that's not ideal because then when I look at my sales data - it's not entirely accurate because it shows income for the whole price (shipping included) and I think that is going to mess me up later.

The other item is taxable - and shipping is NOT. I'm really stuck on figuring this out!

How do I add the flat rate shipping (non-taxable) to these 2 items only?

Thanks,
Bekah
