This feature has many votes, however, we will not be able to consider it unless we receive some comments or suggestions about why this couldn’t be accomplished using warehouses. When we are asked to change the logic of a major feature, we are very hesitant to do so as it can cause huge problems for the original design and function as it was intended to be used.
Please submit your comments by Feb. 1st or the request will be closed.

Product A can ship via USPS or UPS.
Product B ships only via UPS, paid by the customer.
Product C ships free, but in reality ships via UPS.All items ship from the same physical warehouse and all can be combined in a single box and be shipped via UPS, but we must set up 3 separate warehouses in order to assign the correct shipping rates. The customer will likely choose USPS for Product A because it is cheaper, so the customer will see 3 separate shipments on their order.
We'd prefer that Products A and B be combined into a unified, common (UPS) warehouse and that display be hidden for Product A's USPS option. The "Free" warehouse may need to remain separate, but we can manually combine the shipments if we need to input a single tracking number that corresponds to a combined shipping box.
We have tried to use the "ships separately" feature for large items that ship in 2 boxes, with the 2nd box created as a kit. Doesn't work for us. These are oversize boxes and Able combines the weights and ignores box sizes, so the computed rates are significantly lower than they should be. (Could be more than a $75 variance.)
While the customer should be allowed to pick shipping methods from the fewest possible options, there are times when multiple warehouses cannot be avoided. In this case we can look to Amazon's example. They present multiple warehouses to the customer, but it is less confusing than Able's presentation because they have perfected the user interface in their display.

Fedex acquired Bongo in 2014 and in 2016 rebranded it as "FedEx CrossBorder." In 2017, PayPal launched their "Global Sellers Program." Others similar solutions are available as extensions/plug-ins for other eCommerce platforms. Would be a game changers if AbleCommerce integrated one of them.

Multichannel integration including order and inventory sync are critically important. Stitchlabs can handle that, but as of today their cheapest subscription option is $499/month. That's beyond our means. Suggest AbleCommerce consider integration with other apps integrators that are more reasonably priced. At minimum, there should be a way to sync inventory with Amazon and eBay.
