texte = I have done some experimentation with doing a tcp connect each time a product is added to the cart and setting the unitshipcost rather than just the final cost. The problem is you need to ask what zip code they are shipping to, while adding the item.A better solutions is to setup the UPS tcpconnect within a lineitems to reset the UnitShipCost before the shoppingcart page is shown.

If a customer orders 5 of product XYZ, the UPS online tools is assuming the merchant is packing up all 5 XYZ's into one package. It's more expensive to ship the same weight of product in separate packages as opposed to one.Has anyone else experienced this? If so, how do you challenge/cancel the UPS Online Tools assumption that multiple items are not shipped in one package?Regards, Ben M.
