Bruce, I appreciate the reply. Grouping multiple orders for one payment is the same way I've seen it handled in OSCommerce and I guess it's one way to go. I would rather handle the shipping method at the item level even when shipping one item. This keeps it simple and shipping to one or more addresses are handled by the same code. I handle the FedEx export order reference by appending the item # to the order number (i.e: 1000-01, 1000-02, etc) FedEx & UPS just need them to be unique.
Just thinking out loud here... Is this something that would make sense to roll back into the core if I/we could come up with a sane way to handle per item shipping, given that it would essentially replace the order level shipping method currently in use? If not, then do you have suggestions on best practices for implementing this as a module/plugin? I would appreciate your thoughts on where to start poking around, where to bolt it in, and any gotcha's you may perceive by trying to do this. I'm not sure I want to do it if it means I have to fork, then I'm back to maintaining everything myself.
