I have products of differing sizes and weights that are prepackaged in different sized boxes. I am disinclined to go buy a bunch of randomly oversized boxes to try to squeeze every order into a singl...

I spoke to Shopify Support about their previous commitment that this was "on the radar" 3 years ago. Got their response, am now confirming with them that they have no intention of providing this functionality, ever.

A small correction to the Dimensional Weight calculation Daniel provided previously: Measure the length, width, and height in inches. Round UP each measurement to the nearest whole inch. Always round up. A height of 12.4" is 13" to UPS, et al.Multipl...

It has been nearly 3 years, Emma From Shopify. What is the status of this feature that Shopify has had "on the radar" for almost 36 months now? Still "on the radar"? Can we expect a 21st century release or will this be introduced when our grandchildr...

I've contacted customer support at Shopify and gotten non-answers to this question. Does anyone know how we can escalate this issue higher up on the Shopify side? It seems obvious they don't pay attention to these threads, so not sure how to get thei...

I got killed and took a $40+ loss on shipping. On that transaction they charged the customer $0.00 shipping. No idea how they managed to do that, but changes were made to product prices to account for these discrepancies. That probably hurts sales, b...

While I agree with you generally, I would argue that the most basic ability to assign 1 box per product should be built in. The basic assumption being that every item will be shipped separately. That alone would solve a lot of people's problems. 3rd ...

The deal breaker for the 3rd party apps I tried years ago was the fact that I had to negotiate my own shipping rates with the shippers to use them. I don't ship enough from Shopify to get good negotiated rates. So I don't try to increase my Shopify s...

It's been a while since I tried a third-party vendor (a couple of years ago I tried them all without success). With Boxify do you still get the Shopify doscounted shipping rates or is it one of those ones where you have to negotiate your own? It's a ...

Been there. Done that. Still got the t-shirt.

I tried all the available apps months ago, and they all suffer from deficiencies that make them unusable for me. And apparently for many others out here.

Exactly. Let me create boxes and assign them to products. Too easy.

I've tried every app they have available, none seemed to do the job. Some require you to negotiate your own shipping rates. I don't ship enough volume to get a better rate than the Shopify rate. Some don't have the functionality. Obviously no point w...

That's the classic Computer Science 101 Bin Packing Problem. I don't know if their programmers have the skill to solve that one, considering we can't even assign a single box per product at this point. And that's a rather trivial problem, comparative...

Just a follow-up, in case anyone was wondering whether this hack worked out. I can definitively say, no, it didn't work.It appears shopify is literally choosing random box sizes when it calculates shipping. For a big item one time it chooses a small ...

After speaking with support through chat, their solution is to create a fake box that is much bigger than any boxes you will actually send, increase the weight of the fake box or the individual items substantially, and make the fake box the default. ...
