Shipping Weight Variables
Lazy J Farms Butcher Shop
Since most of our stuff is meat and charged by weight, It would be beneficial if we could add some sort of shipping weight system in place that can add an approximate weight calculation to orders to cover/offset packaging costs for shipped orders.
For example, our current packaging system for orders that ship runs between 6-7lbs per box.
The simplest form of this would be to add that weight on a delivery zone as a base added weight.
A more advanced form would be able to calculate "box weights" based upon an entry and a weight bracket.
So for example you can set a cut off of 45lbs per box, including the 6lbs of box weight, so every 39.01+lbs would add the additional box weight.
IE in this example:
Order with 25lbs of meat would total 31lbs for shipping calculation and be 1 box.
Order with 75lbs of meat would total 87lbs for shipping calculation and be 2 boxes at 43.5lbs per box.
Order with 132lbs of meat would total 156lbs for shipping calculation and be 4 boxes.
An additional hard cap could be set for maximum added weight if desired also.
