Weird Packaging for one unique heavy product

[friends1976]

I have a product that has to be shipped in a unique packaging that is quite heavy. It's a poster so it has to be shipped in a tube. BUT, if someone added 10 posters to their order, I don't want the item to be weighted such that it adds the weight of the tube multiple times. How do I handle this? Any ideas of the best way to approach this?

What Shipping Modules are you currently using?

What distinguishes the Posters from all other Products that ship normally by weight?

We are using UPS for everything that's domestic and USPS for international orders. The only thing that distinguishes them is the product itself. The fact that it is a poster means it has to go inside the tube.

This is the URL...I am sure this may help. :)

And what affect does the:
Tip Card Bundle - Save 35%

have on this with its Posters?

It sounds like this Product is actually 2 Posters for each one in the cart ...

So now you have 2 Products with 1 Poster each and 1 Product with 2 Posters each ... that now have to be broken down to 10 per Tube ... is this correct?

Do you have other Posters than the 3 Products or are you planning on more Posters than these, in the future?

You understand the product line perfectly! I don't think we'll have additional products we need to accomodate for although I am curious why you ask. ;)
