Still Evaluating XC5 and I am having some trouble with shipping.
I generally ship through UPS. My current site automatically connects to UPS to obtain the shipping cost for each on line order. UPS uses the box size and weight to determine the cost.


In XC4 when you setup a product you can enter a weight and package size for each item. When an order is placed this information is sent to UPS and a rate is returned. In XC5 weight is easy but I can only enter a package size when an item is marked Separate Box. This seems to present a problem when multiple different items are ordered. Three different items will get shipping with the cost of three boxes.


It is hard to believe XC would do away with the shipping fields without having an alternative but I do not seem to be able to overcome the inflated shipping costs.


How does everyone else handle shipping of multiple different items to obtain the correct shipping charge?
