UPS shipping problem, it is combining different products into same box

Zen Cart 1.3.8a.1
Linux Hosting
I used the quick-install app through GoDaddy. Everything else on the site seems to be working great.
Problem:
Product A: weight 4 lbs.
Product B: weight 5 lbs.

If a customer orders both products at the same time, UPS (the module that I have installed) makes the order:
1 box; 9 lbs.

I need it to be:
2 boxes; Box1: 4 lbs. Box2: 5lbs.

I have many products with different weights that cannot go into the same box. My weights range from 4 lbs all the way up to 56 lbs.

Under Configuration - Shipping/Packaging I have the "Maximum package weight you will ship" set to 60 since my highest weighted item is 56.

How can I make sure Zen-Cart makes each product go into it's own box instead of simply adding the weights?? Thank you.

Re: UPS shipping problem, it is combining different products into same box

You would have to do a lot of customization ...

Boxes are determined by the Maximum Weight setting in the Shipping/Packaging ...

There isn't anything built in to calculate the boxes by the number of items nor to get the quote from USPS per product per weight ...

You would have to customize the code quite a bit to change this ...
