Mutliple shipping packages per item

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   We have a situation that can't be unique to me.  We have a number of products that are listed as one product but are shipped in several boxes.  
Many of these when totaled are over 70 pounds so I have to play with the product settings by setting the shipping weight to the max and playing with the box size in order to get as much shipping out of the item as possible.  We always lose money on shipping with these items.
It would great if we could state that a product has multiple boxes and set the weight to each box for that product so it returns a true shipping rate for that item.
