I am new to Viart and have questions about the best way to ship. It appears with v 3.6, the product dimensions don't matter anymore...only the size of the box does, and you need to enter .25 or something into the # of Packages to combine shipping so your rates don't skyrocket.
 
While this may work if I stick with 1 or 2 package sizes and spend hours trying to figure out how many items will really fit into 1 box..I'm wondering if there's also a way to do this:
 
Minimum order for shipping is $7, but I would like to set a per item cost for shipping. So if an item's shipping rate was $1, it would charge $7 because that's the minimum. But if they order 8 of those items, the charge would only be $8 (8 x $1)...not the miminum $7 + $8.
 
I'm trying to get to the most accurate cost of shipping b/c the UPS charges are calculating sooo high.
