No matter how many items, the total shipping weight is 3 lbs. Where/how can I set this value so I can get the correct shipping cost from UPS?
Vince Administrator 42874 Posts	Posted - 12/10/2021 : 10:05:23 How about set the parameter... $initialpackweight=3; ...but set the weight of each product to 0.01 You have to have a positive weight for products as otherwise they are not counted for shipping, but that way you can have a very large number before they would affect the weight.

So I recommend this $initialpackweight=2.1; ...but set the weight of each product to 0.001 This way the customer could buy over 1000 items and still get a rate for 3lb returned. David
