I have a client that ships bulk amounts of small products in one standard size box, with a maximum of 60 lbs per box. I need to fill each box up to 60 lbs and then start a new box.

here is the code that makes that happen (beware the <<<EOT spacing as explained above)

in mod_UPS.php before (around line 349):

		<Package>
			<PackagingType>
				<Code>$packaging_type</Code>
			</PackagingType>
			<PackageWeight>
				<UnitOfMeasurement>
					<Code>$UPS_wunit</Code>
				</UnitOfMeasurement>
				<Weight>$UPS_weight</Weight>
			</PackageWeight>
$dimensions_query
$pkgparams
		</Package>

after:

EOT;

$max_ups_size = 60;
$no_of_packages = ($UPS_weight > $max_ups_size)? ceil($UPS_weight / $max_ups_size) : 1;
$last_package_weight = ($UPS_weight > $max_ups_size)? $UPS_weight - ($max_ups_size * ($no_of_packages - 1)) : $UPS_weight;
for ($i=1; $i <= $no_of_packages; $i++) {
  $this_package_weight = ($i == $no_of_packages)? $last_package_weight : $max_ups_size;
  $query .= <<<EOT

		<Package>
			<PackagingType>
				<Code>$packaging_type</Code>
			</PackagingType>
			<PackageWeight>
				<UnitOfMeasurement>
					<Code>$UPS_wunit</Code>
				</UnitOfMeasurement>
				<Weight>$this_package_weight</Weight>
			</PackageWeight>
$dimensions_query
$pkgparams
		</Package>
EOT;
} // End Foreach Statement
$query .= <<<EOT

Tested on x-cart 4.1.9

no other files to modify.

cheers,

Should it be compatible with 4.1.8 Pro.? The orig. code to change is identical to that in your post.
I tried it in 4.1.8 Pro.
Page errors when clicking the cart:
"Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in /var/www/vhosts/storex1.com/httpdocs/shipping/mod_UPS.php on line 477"
I delete the } in line 477.
The error no longer occurs, but then I always simply get the No Available Shipping Method.

This looks like it is almost what I need. Thanks for all who came before!

My customers products are sometimes shipped one product per box, sometimes shipped several products per box (to a max weight of about 50 lb) and some of the shipping containers required UPS surcharge as they go in pails.

Using the extra fields from the product, could I set a field to indicate whether the product is shipped alone or can be combined with other products to a max weight ... and then use that to further clarify the package sizes for UPS?

And could I take either the amount in the "freight" field from the product or a custom field, and add that to the total price of shipping returned to the purchaser?

Suggestions on the code?

Help appreciated!

Hi Everyone,

I tried to do what Nick said but I crashed my website - I am getting all sorts of error messages namely:

Warning: Smarty error: unable to read resource: "customer/main/buy_now.tpl" in /home/krdesig/public_html/store/Smarty-2.6.3/Smarty.class.php on line 1082

underneath all of the products

and this error message when I try to view the cart

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_SL in /home/krdesig/public_html/store/shipping/mod_UPS.php on line 222

Of course I forgot to save my original files before making the changes so I am in a real bind can anyone help me?

I am using x-cart version 4.0.8

Post 40 works for 4.1.10....thanks tons!!

[boxerbay]

I'm on 4.19 and none of these worked for me. nicks original gave me a error on modups and this last one post #41 did not do anything.

I simply need to be able to ship items as individual boxes.

anybody have any ideas?


SCRATCH ALL THAT... i took a nap and gave it another shot with a fresh set of eyes and post #41 worked on my 4.19.

[ryedlin]

Post #40 worked for me. I'm on 4.1.9

I tried processing a shipment way over 149lb and it returned a UPS rate much lower than expected. However, this is the first thing that has worked for me so THANKS!

I had to add "EOT;" above the first "#Custom Code" comment from post #40, so it was:
</shipto>
// start copying here for 4.1.9
EOT;
#Custom Code for Orders weighing over 150lbs. change this code of mod_UPS.php after line 349.
global $cart;

[boxerbay]

Not really intended to ship single items over 149 pounds. Regular UPS will not pick it up. It is for shipping multiple boxes that total more than 149 pounds.

For example 5000 business cards ship in a single 15lb box.
If someone orders 10 sets of business cards the cart will return "no method available"

For single items over 150 get a freight rate and set up zones.
