# Incorrect Rate Calculation?

 * The rates being returned from USPS are much higher than expected due to the curious
   way the plugin is retrieving the rates.
 * It appears that if I have three different products in my cart, the plugin retrieves
   the shipping pricing for each individual product. Then, it multiples the shipping
   rate by the quantity of the product in the cart, then adds all of the individual
   rates together. This results in exorbitant shipping rates.
 * My assumption would be to take the individual products weights and dimensions,
   add them together into a single package, and then retrieve that single package
   rate from USPS?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fincorrect-rate-calculation%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Ah, never mind, I see “Parcel packing” is controlled under the Packaging tab.
