trouble with freight calculations with UPS

here's a problem!

When calculating shipping clients notice that one
battery freight is far less than two batteries,
when it should be the other way around....


So, heres the item at check out

"You may want to add some instructions for using the shopping cart here. (defined in includes/languages/english/shopping_cart.php)"

Total Items: 7 Weight: 448lbs Amount: $973.00

Qty. Item Name Unit Total

NEW "theV30" Deep Cycle 31 battery (like Optima D31m) not blue
$139.00 $973.00

Sub-Total: $973.00


But shipping is calculating =

United Parcel Service (4 x 135.03lbs)

--- which equals 540 #'s!!!


something is wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Would love to have your help!

Re: trouble with freight calculations with UPS

If you look at the tpl_product_info_display.php ... copy it to your templates and overrides directory ... find the section commented for:

<!--bof Add to Cart Box -->

And the whole section down to:

<!--eof Add to Cart Box-->

That is the add to cart button and quantity box ...

Keep within the <form> </form> tags ...
