Hi Richard,

1. I've done some tests and **3 package** will be sent to Australia post, the "Group Package" option will just allow you to group your package if they **aren't exceeding the Australia Post limits** (105x35x35 cm), else the "Group Package" option will be **disabled** and you'll send your products trough different packages.

In you case You'll send **3 different packages**:  [ ![Aupost_GP.png](/forum/attachment/10215) ](/forum/attachment/10215 "Aupost_GP.png")

2. The "Additional fee" option of your shipping method is a fee that will be added to every **Australia Post available service fee**, so it will be added **just one time** for each Australia Post service. However, we are currently working on a "**multi shipping**" feature that will allow you to use the "**price per product**" option for every shipping method.

Hope this will help you a little ![:)](/media/kunena/emoticons/3.png ":)").

Thank you for this, but the problem is when you state No to Group Package. If you do this, it will create one shipping price even though the 3 items exceed the Australia Post Limits. I would like it to flag this so we can use a different shipping method. The reason we do not use the Group Package option is because of item 2, were the additional fee is only applied to the first package.

As I said, in your case you'll have to send 3 packages to Australia Post and the fee will be the same regarding the state of your "Group package" option.
But if you want to restrict the use of your Australia post shipping method just for when you'll have to send 1 package, the solution would be to edit the code of your Australia Post shipping plugin and to add this code : Code:

$order_weight = 0; $order_volume = 0; $order_width = 0; $order_height = 0; $order_length = 0; foreach($order->products as $k => $product){ if(!empty($product->cart_product_quantity) && !empty($product->product_weight)){ if(!isset($product->product_weight_unit_orig)) { if(isset($product->product_weight_orig)) $order_weight+=(int)$weightClass->convert($product->product_weight_orig,$product->product_weight_unit,'g') * $product->cart_product_quantity; else $order_weight+=(int)$weightClass->convert($product->product_weight,'','g') * $product->cart_product_quantity; if(!isset($product->product_dimension_unit))$product->product_dimension_unit = 'm'; $order_volume+=(int)$volumeClass->convert($product->product_length*$product->product_width*$product->product_height,$product->product_dimension_unit,'mm')* $product->cart_product_quantity; $order_width+=(int)$volumeClass->convert($product->product_width,$product->product_dimension_unit,'mm','dimension')* $product->cart_product_quantity; $order_height+=(int)$volumeClass->convert($product->product_height,$product->product_dimension_unit,'mm','dimension')* $product->cart_product_quantity; $order_length+=(int)$volumeClass->convert($product->product_length,$product->product_dimension_unit,'mm','dimension')* $product->cart_product_quantity; } else { if(!isset($product->product_dimension_unit_orig)){ $product->product_dimension_unit_orig = $product->product_dimension_unit; } if(isset($product->product_weight_orig)) $order_weight+=(int)$weightClass->convert($product->product_weight_orig,$product->product_weight_unit_orig,'g')* $product->cart_product_quantity; else $order_weight+=(int)$weightClass->convert($product->product_weight,$product->product_weight_unit,'g')* $product->cart_product_quantity; $order_volume+=(int)$volumeClass->convert($product->product_length*$product->product_width*$product->product_height,$product->product_dimension_unit_orig,'mm')* $product->cart_product_quantity; $order_width+=(int)$volumeClass->convert($product->product_width,$product->product_dimension_unit_orig,'mm','dimension')* $product->cart_product_quantity; $order_height+=(int)$volumeClass->convert($product->product_height,$product->product_dimension_unit_orig,'mm','dimension')* $product->cart_product_quantity; $order_length+=(int)$volumeClass->convert($product->product_length,$product->product_dimension_unit_orig,'mm','dimension')* $product->cart_product_quantity; } } } if($order_length > 1050 || $order_width > 350 || $order_height > 350 ){ return false; }

before these lines : Code:

if(isset($rate->shipping_params->shipping_group) && $rate->shipping_params->shipping_group) { foreach($order->products as $k => $product){
