In your case, the best solution will probably be to directly add a fixed price through the "Price" option of your shipping method OR, directly edit the usps.php file of your USPS shipping plugin and add this line : Code: $limit['unit'] = 1; Just before that line : Code: $packages = $this->getOrderPackage($order, array('weight_unit' => 'oz', 'volume_unit' => 'in', 'limit' => $limit, 'required_dimensions' => $required_dimensions)); So that it won't dynamically group your products anymore.

I'm not sure what you mean, "In my case, the best solution is..." What are you assuming is different about my case than others. Before I go into the php and make a change so my plugin works differently from everyone else, what are you assuming is different about my case? If you could give a little more explanation, that would be great. I think I want it to operate like everyone elses. I want the customer to put 1 or 2 or 5 or 20 books into the shopping cart and it correctly calculate the shipping charge. 2. Someone else said I should not put numbers or prices in for shipping so I removed all shipping prices, but it still does not work correctly. Can you look at the pictures below and specifically tell me which field need to change and to what value. 3. Is the "fix" your suggesting a bug in the program? Why are you suggesting that fix? **Here are my settings for the USPS plugin minus my USPS Webtools User ID** [ ![[img](https://www.m2820.com/examples/Snagit8.jpg) ](https://www.m2820.com/examples/Snagit8.jpg "[img") [ ![[img](https://www.m2820.com/examples/Snagit5.jpg) ](https://www.m2820.com/examples/Snagit5.jpg "[img") **And here are the settings on my Product Page:** [ ![[img](https://www.m2820.com/examples/Snagit6.jpg) ](https://www.m2820.com/examples/Snagit6.jpg "[img") [ ![[img](https://www.m2820.com/examples/Snagit9.jpg) ](https://www.m2820.com/examples/Snagit9.jpg "[img") --- Brad Sunday School Teacher Training [ www.m2820.com](http://www.m2820.com) Last edit: 10 years 5 months ago by [simo90](/forum/user/7901-simo90 "View simo90's Profile").

As I said : > The USPS shipping plugin algorithm automatically "group" your products together into packages based on the USPS package's size/weight restriction. Which means that instead of telling to the USPS shipping platform that you'll send 1 product per package which will have your product weight and dimensions, it's : - Dynamically grouping your product into "packages" before USPS size/weight limits are reached - telling to the USPS platform that you'll send X package(s) with potentially multiple products in it. That algorithm will prevent your customers from having high rates which were the case with previous versions of the USPS shipping plugin. 2. That person probably told you to not use the "Price" option through your USPS shipping configuration page which is what you did. 3. I'm suggesting you to add that code so that the USPS can work as you want, it will only tell to the USPS platform that you'll send 1 product per package and they'll return rates according to it.
