Shipping Calculator Not Accurately Adding Dimensions of Multiple Sale of Same Items.
Example - Item 1 weighs 10 pounds dimensions 10x12x14.
When customer buys 3 of the same item - shipping calculator shows 30 pounds dimensions 10x12x14.
This leaves the seller to either cancel the sale or let the buyer now he/she must pay more.
It adds the weights of each item but I dont think it automatically adds the dimensions as well. Isnt the charge to the buyer higher on the basis of 3 items in the same shipment with what is now a heavier weight?
For the dimensions the theory is that you may be able to combine 2 or more without needing a bigger box. If you do then you would change the dimensions you are declaring in the shipping form to match whatever box you have chosen.
What I HAVE seen it do for a combined shipment where the buyer made one payment is that it will total up the weights as I said - but for the dimensions I found that it appeared to use the largest value for each dimension from the individual shipping specs that I had put in for the separate items. So when one item was in a 10x8x1 padded envelope and another was in a 6x6x4 box the resulting combined dimensions came up as 10x8x4.
