Only charge for 1 box in shipping

Hi there everyone,

I was wondering if there was a way to specify how much can actually fit into a box in the shipping module. For example one box can only handle a weight of 2, so you could put one item that weighs 2lbs can fit into the box, or two 1lb items can fit into that box.

What shipping method(s) are you intending to use?

Do any of your Products, sitting at quantity 1 on a scale, weight more than 2lbs?

I am using the table rate mod for my shipping. And I have everything broken down into three weights: 1,2,3. There is a seperate box for anything 3 but in the other box you can fit one 2 or two 1's.

Thank you again for your help ajeh =)

I think from the sound of things you will need a custom shipping module to determin how many items are in the cart at the 3 settings and then do a calculation from that ...

You break pattern with that 3, as the 1 and 2 can be totaled and put into the boxes by taking the total weight and divide by 2 ... but then that 3, doesn't fit that idea and the 1 and 2 cannot use the 3 box ...

So, it would be easier to count how many items are 1, 2 and 3 separately to box them and then computer rates from that ...

Got your coding hat on? :smartalec:

If not, you may wish to post in the Commercial Help Wanted for this ...
