      Hi Ed,

      That’s an interesting conundrum. Let me see if I got it right:

      1. Your product options are actually weight instead of individual quantities;
      2. The client chooses a 1lb option but it’s actually heavier due to the packaging/ice;

      Can’t you simply calculate how much ice per pound is used and set that overall weight for that option?

      If I’m wrong in my assumptions, please send me a link to the site by email so I can have a better idea of what the issue is. vinny [at] usestrict [dot] net

      Cheers,
      Vinny

      Ok, so the customer can order the product in either 1/2 lb or 1lb this is the break down for ice requirements:
      1-2 lbs = 2 ice
      3 lbs = 3 ice
      4-9 lbs = 4 ice
      9-15 lbs = 6 ice
      15-25 lbs = 8 ice
      25 lbs ++ = 12 ice
      each bag of ice is $0.50
      For next day ground they ship in a cardboard box up to 10 lbs and requires 2 ice so that is only 8 lbs of product if it is a 2-3 day shipment they are using a Styrofoam box:
      STYROFOAM Boxes (for 2nd Day GROUND or AIR)
      SMALL $10 4 ice weighs 1 lb. will hold 5 lbs Product
      MED $12 8 ice weighs 1.5 lbs. will hold up to 12 lbs
      LARGE $15 10 ice weighs 2 lbs. will hold up to 20 lbs

      The price is for the ice and container.

      The problem I am running into is that just because one product is ordered that may not change the container until 3 or 4 products are ordered and how they want it shipped. I guess what I need is a way to have the shipping options decide the container that needs to be used (based on total weight of product ordered and shipping time frame). I do not know if this can be accomplished or if I am just not setting up the program with the correct variables.

      Thanks for any help,
      Ed
