    Default Re: maximum shipping weight

    i searched youtube on that whole boxes thing and no one addressed that field. All they had to say was... leave it as default. Not much use as far as videos go. Even a certain Pica video glossed right over it.

    I still don't understand the maximum shipping weight thing though. No information out there at all.


    thanks for the code. i am sure it will be useful to others also. In fact, add it to the feature request list.

    Default Re: maximum shipping weight

    The maximum weight is used to divide up the total weight of the order into boxes that do not exceed the maximum weight ...

    You want the maximum weight set back to 50lbs so that the total weight is not divided into boxes of less that 8lbs ...

    Default Re: maximum shipping weight

    Would be nice if someone could do a quick and dirty 2 min video with examples on youtube. Ive been using ZC since 2007. I have never needed to learn about this aspect of ZC cart until just recently. It sounds like one of those things that if people understood it, they most likely would implement it.

    Seems to me that I should be able to set the max shipping weight to 8 and max number of boxes to 1.

    Having multiple boxes on one invoice could also raise chargeback issues if one of the boxes was damaged. CC company is like to give back the entire invoice amount for any damages claimed.
