HELP, I'm being driven nuts!! LOL OK, so the client sells 2 main products, greeting cards and posters. Greeting cards weigh next to nothing around 25grams on average. Posters vary in weight from 20g to 100g. Posters need to be shipped in a tube, these tubes weigh 163g. Cards, depending on the qty get shipped in a padded envelope or a small box. Currently, I have the cards weighed in grams, and the posters in KG to separate the shipping rules. All works perfectly, until you mix products in the cart. Lets take an example scenario. 2 posters, weighing say 120g (120kg) the freight cost to the USA is $10.50. Now if they add in say 5 greeting cards, which cannot go into a tube for starters, but really need to be shipped in a package of their own, is probably another shipping cost of maybe $7.50. There is no way to put cards into a tube, there is no option for the client to start folding posters to go with cards into a large envelope. They JUST have to be separately shipped. The system is of course calculating the weight based on the massively heavier posters of course, but now she is out of pocket for the postage of the greeting cards. We also take into account like you have suggested before, the weights of the tubes, and that works fine. Do you have some sort of shipping solution that can somehow be a happy medium so on the chance that someone buys the two different types of products, she is not always being left out of pocket on freight. I did tell her when I had finished setting up all the rules for freight, that this would happen, but now that she has tested it herself, she is not happy at all. HELP!! Put me out of my misery.

We want to sell mobile computers (hand terminals) on our webshop, but you can get them with different options. So let's say I have 3 characteristics: * Scan engine: 1D or 2D * Camera: Yes or no * Bluetooth: Yes or no Now, let's say that all the devices that have a 1D scan engine always have a camera. Then from the moment someone picks "1D" for the scan engine, the camera characteristic should no longer display the "no" option because there simply aren't any devices that meet those criteria. I hope I made myself clear here. The problem now is that people can pick options that don't exist. Some devices have up to 6 or 7 characteristics with different options, and many combinations lead to a device that's not available. I notice that the "add to cart" button disappears when picking a variant that doesn't exist, so that's good, but ideally people should not be able to choose options that aren't available.
