    Default One Product Multiple Boxes

    I am wanting to know if it is possible for ZEN cart to calculate shipping with UPS, when there is one product with multiple boxes?

    Example:
    Product A - ships in 5 boxes
    Product B - ships in 3 boxes
    Product C - ships in 4 boxes
    Product D -ships in 1 box

    can I have it calculate the shipping total for the product for the customer, but the price from ups is for each box?

    example:
    Product A - total weight 225lbs customer gets shipping price.
    I need to tell UPS the weight and dimension of each box so that there is not an over weight charge:
    Box 1 - 70lbs
    Box 2 - 45lbs
    Box 3 - 30lbs
    Box 4 - 55lbs
    Box 5 - 25lbs

    I hope someone has a quick answer and understands what I am asking. Do not want an over charge from UPS because they think I am shipping a 225lb package.

    Default Re: One Product Multiple Boxes

    You can define in the admin the maz weight for a box
    The cart software divides the weight into equal weight boxes

    So if you set 50lbs your 225 will be in 5 boxes @45lbs each
    You will have to see if the UPS charges are inline for this and your other items

    You can also Not display weight in the product description shown to the customer and "fake weights" to make the box number come out as you need
