I am currently using Shipping Director plugin. I need to figure out how to setup rules for specific length product & also check on quantity of the line item.
We sell 4', 5', 6', 8' light bulbs, in addition to smaller bulbs. www.mebulbs.biz
We have multiple box sizes based on quantity of item. Longer length bulbs are marked as ship separately to minimize damage in shipping.
Below is example of rules that are failing because of error. (still working on figuring out what SD does not like)
420 False Reference LT52Q9 (Product.Length >= 40 and Product.Length < 52 and ShoppingCartItem.Quantity < 12)
640 False String $PackageBox "MaxWeight:53,Height:4,Width:6,Length:52"
642 False Packing Pack Items.Any([@LT52Q9]) Packing.FirstFitSingleBox/AppendPackages NOT [@LT52Q9]
I cannot have SD "shrink" the packaging as it must remain at length specified.
Is anyone one else shipping oversize using Shipping Director??

In an expression, within the context of an Item, you can access the Quantity property. e.g. Items.Where([@LT30]) .Sum(Quantity)
The Packing Expression is already in the context of an Item (as opposed to context of entire cart, where most other expressions are evaluated). So, you can do this:
(Product.Length >= 40 and Product.Length < 52 and Quantity < 12)
However, you may want to separate your Length evaluation (needed by Packing's Exclude), from the condition used to see if you want to pack that size box at all. If you use Quantity in the Exclude Expression, the quantity reflects just the one cart item. If you have multiple cart items, in the length range, then the total quantity of all of them needs to be calculated at the context of the cart. E.g.
