seems satchmo and UPS integration is just multiplying

[hiwd]

Anyone else see this?

If I add a 1lb product to my cart and check the Ground UP shipping
it's 8.83 and then if I add another it just double is.

But if I go to the MyUps site and emulate the estimated costs based on
weight, etc the cost from UPS isn't doubled.

I'm looking at the log files as well and trying to figure out the
issue.

Anyone else run into this?

It may depend on whether it's bundling the packages or not. I don't remember the details of the UPS api but I'd recommend looking at the quest to see how it is bundling the 2 products.

Hey Chris,

I noticed the code in the request template is looping through items
via

{% for product in cart.get_shipment_list %}

in the cart and actually creating a new package node for each item the
cart, instead of one package and then calculating the weight.

Now the UPS api may have another way to do this but I don't have
intimate knowledge of the API.

So I added a new cart method get_total_weight and then customized the
xml request template to get this issues resolved.

If there's a cleaner way, anyone if you know one, let me know.

But this works for now.

Thanks.

That's how I do it.  This is an incredibly involved issue, since every different store will box things differently.

Thanks Bruce.

Hearing that is comforting :)

And thanks to the Satchmo core ... it's an amazing product.

Kevin-
When you get a chance, if you could add some notes on the wiki with how you handled it. I'll work to incorporate into the docs so others can deal with it in the future.

Thanks,
Chris
