Hi All,

As you know, when shipping via USPS (which we do exclusively) there are several box choices which affect cost. We used to fairly rapidly be able to see what adjustments to make when the total shipment weight was displayed on the main order dialogue box.

If the total order weight could be shown somewhere within the initial order window again, that would be very helpful. What would be even more helpful would be a quicker way to change shipping methods or boxes from the first window ~ i.e. "medium flat rate box", "small flat rate box" ~ or convert to first class mail - that sort of thing. Seeing what's in the shipment, as the window displays now, isn't all that helpful (to us anyway, it may certainly be for others) ~ perhaps the space can be used for one of these features.

Thanks for your support!
Cheers,
Eric

Eric,

Did you notice that the weight is now added back to the order details screen?  Its not in the same place.  Its on the shipment tree (the box that shows the shipments and the items that are in each of them) right next to the package type for each shipment.  Shipping methods can be changed on the order list by right clicking and choosing "Shipments" | "Set Ship Method" and the same for package types.  We could probably add a context menu that would come up when you right click on the shipment that could allow you to change these two things.  Would that help?

Thanks,
David

Eric,

Just to be clear, do you think the ability to set the ship method and package type of the shipments on the order details page would be helpful or is it okay to have it on the main order list and the shipment details screen as it is already?

Thanks,
