Hi
I've got an idea for an improved shipping scheme I wanted to run by
other OFBiz users and see what everyone thought...
Although we have the USPS rate estimator working, I'm discovering that
it's very difficult to charge competitive shipping rates because the
packing material weights vary so much...
The idea I have is to add a new table of box sizes, recording both the
overall size, and the usable inner size. Then OFBiz will simply figure
out the box that's large enough for the largest item(s) and that has
enough shipping volume to handle the combined products.
The weight of this box can then be used when calculating the postage
weight for the order.
----
Can anyone help fund the development of this feature? I've created a
jira issue for this with a few more details of the proposed algorithm,
which would be a good place to add your thoughts.
Thanks
