Add a 2nd weight field

[kastnerd]

The shipping part of able is not capable of many things. My first goal is to get shipping a little closer to reality.

My wheel weights 3 lbs. But if shipped by 2nd day or 3day its gets charged at 17lbs.

If in the product info there was "Weight" 3lbs and "Dim Weight" 17lbs

Then i tweak 2nd day and 3 day to look at "dim weight" not "weight"

Would this work?

I don't think you need that. UPS should already be sending rate quotes that include minimum weights and package size that are billed at higher weights for 2nd and 3rd day automatically (assuming you put in the weight and size for every item in your backend).

It wont use size if you order 2 or more items.

It'll work but you'll have to modify the shipping gateway source code to get it.

You could create a product custom field and specify dimensional weights there. Then in the shipping gateway source, modify it to test for a dimensional weight custom field on each product involved in the ship transaction. If found, use that weight value instead of the product standard weight.

There's no way to do it out-of-the-box with AC7.
