Thanks for your insight, Brett. However, it makes me think wether people are understanding what I would like. I'm talking about a system that would be a feature, and tool, something extra. In example, bulk quantities exist. I don't use them, nor like them, but some sellers do, because it makes their life easier. And yes, it seems that they don't care too much about wether a buyer wants 2 tiles or 10 to meet the bulk amount. This is what that would be, an extra. Some seller would appreciate it and implement it. Just to make it clear, I wouldn't. The "bulky" system thing is maybe too far out, if this is just going to be a tool implemented by some. However, I'd just give it out as a tool, and let people decide wether they want it or not. Some big sellers I'm should would like the feature and use it. It's just an extra, an option, a feature, a choice, something seller's would choose to use if they like, and not use it if it's too much hassle. If you wouldn't use it, why would you vote "no" then, if you wouldn't be required to use it?    Make them see that you are going out of your way to give them a valued experience rather than "this is what you ordered, this is your cost, because you checked out instantly" BTW, great idea. I do like the idea of a welcome email and a basic explanation, as no one reads the help page in the beginning, so just the basic points would be good, and easy to implement.    I do like the idea in general, I just think it's hard to set up and maintain world wide and putting it in the hands of individual sellers doesn't change the differences, as you noted, but makes the issue faster. As an FYI there are 20620 items in the catalog missing weights and 24513 missing dimensions. Everyone of this items would break the automated shipping feature. Bret
