I think this is a dangerous road, but perhaps there is a way to make it
work...

I've found that setting the shipping like this causes problems as soon
as this shipping rates change, you need to send it internationally, etc.

I haven't worked with it, but I think in general that's the way the
estimation system already works...

This could be useful, but it would seem to get expensive for the
customer, especially if more than 1 or 2 facilities were involved, and
they wanted everything overnight for example.

Would it work instead to have all the sold inventory shipped to one
facility where it could be packed into one box for the customer?

Thanks
