Can anyone tell me how to enter the shipping when a sale has more than one box. All the boxes weigh the same and are the same size. I will be using calculated shipping based on buyers location.
Thanks in advance

The system does not handle this well. Use the calculator to find the difference between 1 box of the entire weight and 1 of the 5 that will be equal weight. Use the farthest location shown by the calculator.
Take 5 x the single box and subtract the 1 box of the full weight to find the difference, or the extra that you need to charge for it being 5 boxes. Enter that amount as a handling charge and let the system calculate the single box of the full weight. You might charge the buyer slightly too much, but you can always send a little refund if it is enough to matter.
