Hi there! I have 3 different sized boxes I use for shipping; small box for 1 item, medium box for 2-4 items, and large box for 5+ items. These boxes are all different sizes so that’s important for shipping rates! I noticed I’ve been undercharging for shipping on orders with medium or large boxes bec…

Agreed. I spoke with customer service this week about it. Their solution was to install a separate app that calculates shipping by weight and dimension.
