How do I double my shipping calculations for a listing with 2 separately boxed items?

Question

I have multiple pairs of large, vintage stereo speakers. They are listed as pairs but must be boxed and shipped separately. The listing shipping calculator lets me enter info for one box only. How can I get the listing to accurately reflect cost for both items, short of listing the pairs as separate speakers?

While you can print up to five labels per listing, the shipping calculator does not know how to handle multiple boxes for a single sale that requires them.

The best work around of equivalent weight won't work as your items are probably to heavy and/or big.

The next work around would be to sell them individually (not in pairs) and set the calculator to No Discount, so the second speaker would be charged the same shipping as the first and put a note buyer must buy two at a time.

The third option is to set up Flat Rate shipping rules by Zone, such that you put in a fixed rate for each group of Zip Codes in that Zone.
