Is there an easy way to remember a customer when they return, and post a 'Welcome Back [customer's first name]' on the homepage? I assume this to be done easily with a cookie, and is a very nice, 'personal feeling' feature to have. This could also be extended to require only the customer's password when going to the checkout, as their e-mail address field could be automatically populated.
How can we add a flat weight to all shipments when pulling the shipping rates? Basically, if a customer’s order weighs a total of 8.7 lbs., we want the system to add 0.5 lbs. and pull rates for a weight of 9.2lbs. (which would automatically round up to 10lbs. when pulling rates). This helps to cover the weight of a box and packing material. Adding a small amount of weight to all items is much less accurate, and leaves us undercharging or overcharging on nearly every sale.
