I’m trying to determine shipping package sizes. Let’s say I have a medium box size and large box size. I can only find a that one package size can be used a checkout using the option “This package is used to calculate shipping rates at checkout.” My concern is that some larger items will require a l…

I came here to back up everyones concerns here too. Absolutely ridiculous.

When you (as Shopify) have to always say “you need a 3rd party app for that” on even the most basic needs, don’t you think its time for customers to start looking for another platform?

We are migrating from WooCommerce and the shipping costs are calculated perfectly using the product dimensions and weights and calculating how big of a box is needed. After working on this for weeks with Shopify Support, we now realized Shopify only enabl…

It’s insane that this hasn’t been addressed yet. Even if we use Boxify, we’re not able to take advantage of Shopify’s discounted rates.

Wow, the more I get into setting up a store because our customers who visit our brick and mortar store keep telling us to do so, and the deeper I get into this “so called” easy way to get your store online through “Shopify” the more I am thinking I should just deactivate now and start again with a d…
