Volume shipping options

Recommended Posts

My Squarespace site for my art business needs the ability to setup volume based shipping costs.

I am in Australia and I can see that 'carrier shipping' options FedX etc are only for The US. I wish to ship to Australia, the US, Canada and the UK, but will start with Australia.

I cannot use flat rate or weight options as my art pieces vary in weight disproportionate to their size. From 12"x12" to 60"x48".

The artwork also needs to be packaged and shipped carefully, so I'd be using a carrier with a reputation for sending artwork like 'Pack & Send'. Not ShipBob etc

Thanks for any help.

Have you tried setting up Fulfillment Profiles for specific sizes of artwork?

Thankyou for your message.

That sounds like it might work. I could set the weight up as volumetric weight. And add that as a measurement to each. 

Would I run into problems if someone tries to buy 2 items that are on different profiles?

I believe it should (emphasis on the word “should”) create two separate shipments but I know there was a bug that could prevent this happening under certain conditions, so I recommend you test it.
