Shipping cost is not increasing when buyers are ordering multiples

[julien1035]

Hello everyone,
When a buyer orders more than one of the same product, the shipping cost for the buyer is the same as if they were buying only one of them. Is there a way to change that in my settings?

Just checked on your Booster box listing. The shipping did increase after a quantity of 3 is inputted. On the special set listing it did not increase. Increased charges are generated by weight breaks according to Canadapost. When you create your listings remember to factor accurately package weight. Unfortunately the calculator can only calculate with the original package weight and dimensions. It only factors weight, their location and services available based on limits set by CP on additional units. (To service maximums)

For example US Small Packet Air & Tracked the limit per package is 2 KG. Over that weight it bases generates charges for an additional package.

You can also set up combined shipping preferences for both flat-rate and calculated methods by going to Account Settings > Shipping Preferences. 

For calculated shipping, you can set rules to combine all item weights into one package. For flat-rate shipping, you can set each additional item to add a certain amount to your base shipping rate.
