I am using the UPX XML module with dimensional support and time in transit. I know that it determines the box size by choosing the least expensive one that will fit the items first.

Is it possible to have several different box types that are determined by the type of shipping the customer has chosen and the zone that it will be shipped to?

For example, the customer selects UPS Next Day and the packing algorithm selects only from boxes #1-3 in the chart below or if the customer lives in Zone 2 and chooses Ground, only boxes #13-15 would be used to determine # of boxes, weight, etc.

Box Type #1--Small
Box Type #2-Medium
Box Type #3-Large
Box Type #4--Small--Next Day
Box Type #5-Medium--Next Day
Box Type #6-Large--Next Day
Box Type #7--Small--2 day
Box Type #8-Medium--2 Day
Box Type #9-Large--2 Day
Box Type #10--Small--Ground--Zone 1
Box Type #11-Medium--Ground--Zone 1
Box Type #12-Large--Ground--Zone 1
Box Type #13--Small--Ground--Zone 2
Box Type #14-Medium--Ground--Zone 2
Box Type #15-Large--Ground--Zone 2
Box Type #16--Small--Ground--Zone 3
Box Type #17-Medium--Ground--Zone 3
Box Type #18-Large--Ground--Zone 3

Each of these box types would have its own dimensions and weight. If this can be done, would someone be willing to help me figure out how to configure the module to do this, including where to put the code?

Thanks in advance.
