I have complex settings for shipping quote, and I don't want to set many conditional actions - just one that will calculate according to the different criteria and return the shipping quote result. How should I implement this?

I have an issue that fits into this area I believe. Feel free to move it to some where else if not.

Summary: Using Shipping quote from UPS I would like to tell UPS how many packages will be sent before a shipping quote is generated.

Reasoning: This requirement is necessary in order to get the most accurate quote from UPS and can be accomplished at the UPS Web site by choosing how many packages you will be shipping from a pull down menu.

What I am trying to do is set up a condition to see how many items the customer is purchasing then update the number of packages based on the number of items.

Example: If you customer has ordered 4 items I need a shipping quote for one package. If the customer orders six items I need a shipping quote for two packages.

Make sense?

Thanks in advance.

@Amitaibu: It's easy to write a custom shipping module. See uc_flatrate for an example.

@joshuautley: I don't see how your question has anything to do with the original post. There are many ways to control the packaging of products - these are frequently discussed in the forums at ubercart.org. And if you have some really weird packaging requirements you can always implement your own packaging algorithm.
