PreSales question: Multiple boxes (variable products)

    We’re looking to ship our variable physical products by UPS or Fed Ex, in which 1 (variable) item ships in 4 different boxes and another variable item is packed in 5 boxes. Each box of the 4 or 5, is less than UPS maximum size (& weight), but together, all 4/5 boxes exceed the UPS size limits. (combined Weight is 130lbs -under 150lbs maximum). However, if they order 2 of the same item, then the combined weight would exceed UPS maximum weight of 150lbs, even though each individual box is averages 30 lbs). We would need to also display the total shipping cost of fed Ex or UPS (or both options) in the cart, using our negotiated discount rates with UPS/Fed Ex and also offer a flat rate fee for local delivery and free pickup option

    It shouldn’t be an issue, just don’t check combine all products and plugin will quote for each product separately.

    We dont want the customer to see shipping prices for each of the 4 boxes their order is placed into. We just need to pack the ordered item in a few different boxes since that’s how they are packed and cannot be put together in one jumbo box.
    For instance, if we sell a fishing pole and a tire as a set (one item group), we’d have to box the pole in box 1 and the tire in box 2 and provide one complete shipping charge.

    We’d like the customer to 1 rate (of the combined boxes) for UPS Ground, and other rates for different classes of delivery service (3 day, 2nd day air, or overnight) An order for 1 item would then have shipping labels made of box 1 of 4, box 2 of 4, box 3 of 4 & box 4 of 4, all shipping with UPS (or Fed Ex)

    Customers always see grand total they have to pay.

    Plugin is using dimensions and weight of all the products in a package / cart and quote rates based on that information.
    It can quote rates for a sum of dimensions / weight and display a resulting rate or it can quote

    An order for 1 item would then have shipping labels made of box 1 of 4, box 2 of 4, box 3 of 4 & box 4 of 4, all shipping with UPS (or Fed Ex)
    For that case you just have to uncheck Combine All Boxes / Products and then you will be able to access detected boxes in and print labels for each of them separately.
    Customer will have to pay a single total of the shipping rates.
