Default Re: USPS Module Errors

If you put three items in one box the dimensions of that box is the thing that matters, not dimensions of these items. And you can configure such "default" box in the module settings.

There is no way to guess how items will be actually packed in a box. The shipping cost calculated through their API will always be a rough quote. That's why the currently implemented logic is as follows: you either make an item to be shipped in a separate box having its own dimensions, or let the item to be added into the "default" box along with other such products. Please let us know if you know a better logic. Thanks!
