Hi There,
We are shipping 'kits' where they would be shipped in two seperate boxes. How can I configure this?
If I put the total weight, I will get an error that it is too heavy to ship (obviously!) but in two seperate boxes, it will be below the max weight to ship.
Please help? Anyone else ship multiple boxes?

I am using AuctionInc's shipping calculator engine as a custom integration to NopCommerce. It is $25/month and well worth it. It handles all the multiple box calculations. You can get more details about their API and what is does here: http://www.auctioninc.com/info/page/shipping_api.
The integration I wrote doesn't deal with everything yet but it is functional. I can provide details if anyone wants the code.
