I'm not sure that Marco has the final version up yet with the instructions but it has volume based filtering. Requires a SQL update so that you can use digits 6-11 past the decimal in the weight field to contain the product volume.

It will require you to alter all of your product weights so that the weight also includes the cubic inch volumes.
The following volumes are coded into the file:

• Sm Flat rate box = 67 cu inches
• Med FR box = 515 cu inches
• Large FR box = 792 cu inches
• Large Video O-1096L = 95 cu inches
• First Class = I don't think that a volume has been set but the weight max is 13 ounces. I coded the max volume for FirstClass to be 12.5 cu inches to make my products work.

Use a volume greater than 67 cu inches for the item that requires the Med FR box and all options less than the total product volume in the cart will be removed from the choices presented to the customer.

My example is that I know that 5 items will fit in a small FR box. 6-7 requires a Large Video box. 8 and up Med FR. Given that, I use 13 cu inches per item for those so that FirstClass cannot be chosen for a single item.

My last attempt to explain the detailed setup failed, so I'm reluctant to go much further until Marco has the latest update posted.
