This time a customer reached out with two questions about shipping functionality in osCommerce 4, specifically related to packaging and shipping quotes:

Defining Shipping Cartons by Dimensions: The customer wanted to know if there was a way to define available shipping cartons by size (e.g., 12x12x12), so the system could calculate when multiple boxes are needed for shipping. This feature was previously available in osCommerce 2.x and helped ensure accurate shipping quotes from UPS.
"Ready to Ship" Feature: The customer inquired about a "Ready to Ship" checkbox feature they used in osCommerce 2.x. This feature allowed them to mark certain items as not requiring packing, so the system would know these items could be shipped as-is.

The osCommerce support team recommended the Pack Units app, which allows users to define product dimensions for more accurate shipping calculations. This app helps manage packaging needs efficiently. More details and guidance on this feature can be found here: Pack Units Documentation.

The Pack Units app helps to streamline your shipping processes, accurately calculate box requirements, and ensure seamless integration with shipping carriers.
