texte = My client has decided that he'd like to offer customers the option ofshipping the orders as the merchandise becomes available to ship, or towait until all items are in stock and ship together. This is whatamazon.com offers.I'm trying to figure out what is the best way to handle the situationwhere the customer wants items shipped separately, as soon as possible. My client wants them to see the shipping total (based on weights anddistance) for each shipment before they complete the purchase.Right now, for simplicity of credit card authorizations, etc., I'mleaning towards splitting the shopping cart into multiple shopping carts(really multiple orders, but invisible to shopper), where each shoppingcart contains items with the same leadtimes. This would be done only ifthe customer wants items shipped separately.Any one done anything like this or have any ideas on how to do itefficiently? ThanksSandy
