There are two packing methods with Colissimo. Each affects the parcels you send to the plugin for a quote.

Each item in your cart (non-virtual) is sent to the plugin individually. Rate quotes for all items are combined for the final cost.

Pack items in boxes together (Recommended)

Items are packed in pre-defined boxes and sent to the plugin for a quote. We recommend this option. See Box-Packing below for more information on this.

The box packer included with this shipping method lets you group items into packages for which you define height, width, length, weight and max-weight. The packing is mainly volume based, but does also consider item sizes.

The packer does the following:

1. Finds boxes that fit items being packed (uses H x W x D).
2. Packs all fitting items into boxes (using volume).
3. Uses the largest box fitting 100% of items *or* uses the highest % packed box, and then passes unpacked items back (and repeats the process)
4. Packs unpackable items alone, using item dimensions.
5. Returns all packed boxes.

These services are available:

• Colissimo France
• Colissimo Emballage France
• Colissimo Europe
• Colissimo Outre-Mer
• Colissimo Economique Outre-Mer
• Colissimo International
• Colissimo Emballage International

Customers get quotes based on address input from two places:

• Cart page – Using the shipping calculator
• Checkout page – Filling in shipping and billing forms

1. Enable debug mode to see debugging information on the cart page. This will often reveal the problem.
2. Check your products have sizes and weights set. Without this, the calculation cannot be performed.
3. Check that you set France as the shop base country and euros as default shop currency.
