How Shipping Works in Go ePower

How does shipping work in Go ePower.If something weighs 100 pounds between all products ordered and you have no other settings set, the default is set so that it will put a request to fed ex/ups etc to get the rate for a 100 pound box. It will combine all products ordered to get a weight and make a request to the shipping courier for that weight. If all the weights combined is greater than the Shipper Limit then it will split the weight into 2. Lets say the shipper limit is 150 lbs and your total weight is 200 then it will send two requests one for 150 and the other for 50.
That is the default.
There are 2 other settings in the products page.
Max Qty in package - This will send multiple shipping requests to the Shipper to get the rate per box. So if your total weight is 50 pounds and your max qty in package comes out to 30 pounds so it should send two requests to the shipper, 1 for 30 and one for 20.
Same Type in Package - Do Not Mix with other Product Types - This will make sure that letterhead products and business cards (in other words 2 different product ids) do not get put into the same box and will send multiple shipping requests. However, if someone orders 2 sets of business cards for two people using the same product id it should combine it just not different products.
