This next suggestion may not be exactly what you had in mind, but I think it's as close as we can get at the moment to what you described. For our "Tube" container types, our system knows to consolidate products that ship in any Tube container into the largest such container specified for any product in the order, up to the packaging capacity specified -- our original idea here was that an order containing some posters that ship in a small tube and some that ship in a large tube should just ship them all together in one large tube, but you can take advantage of this technicality even if you're not literally using tubes or selling posters. :^)

E.g., if you have Product A set to ship up to 4 units in a Small Tube, and Product B set to ship up to 4 units in a Large Tube, then an order placed for 2 units each of Products A and B would only add the cost+weight of one Large Tube (as B's container had 2 "slots" left unoccupied, so those could be occupied by 2 units of A).]]> E-junkie Discussions; E-junkieGuru http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3012/pg/0#post8402 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3012/pg/0#post8402 Mon, 1 Dec 2008 18:16:38 GMT
2 pack - Small Box
4 pack - Small Box
8 pack - Medium Box
16 pack - Large Box

Let's just say someone orders a 4 pack of glass and a 4 pack of plastic cups. Is there anyway to define that 4 plastic cups and 4 glass cups will fit in a medium box, and is there a way that it can add the weight of the 2 packs together and calculate shipping based on that?

**Note**
I do have the weights of each package already input in the system.]]> E-junkie Discussions; quaffer
