Help with Real Time Shipping

I have been using real time shipping profiles recently, which is great. However, I recently added an option to ship individual cookies. I can't seem to figure out how to get it to understand. When I try to order 6 chocolate chip cookies, it thinks I'm using 6 boxes to do it. So shipping is SUPER expensive, when in reality I would use just one box. How do I set up the profile for it to understand that?

Hi there, @sugarlab,

 

I can definitely take a look at this for you! Can you please provide a link to your site and a couple of names of the items so I can just check out the settings? 😊

Chiming in as well - when this issue comes up, it's usually because the items in question are mapped to a box with a low maximum weight. If you tend to get orders for shipping that have multiple items, map the item to a box with a higher maximum weight (or increase the max weight of the box that is already mapped). This will let the shipping carrier know that multiple items will be packed in the same box, and, avoid the issue of charging for shipping as if you're shipping every item in its own box.

Well...now it seems to be working properly. Weird! I'll report back if anything goes wonky again. Still learning this whole shipping thing. Thanks @Ellie_ & @faheem
