The order shipment is: 2 pcs-6.00x6.00x6.00in18.00lbs
Splitting method: The splitting order condition is met. Since there are only 2 items in the order (with the same length, width, and height), it will be automatically split into two orders. The original order retains one item, and the other item will be split into the new order.
Result of Order Split:
The quantity of goods is 2, and the length, width, and height of all packages are not the same.
The order shipment is:
1 pc-1.00x1.00x1.00in1.00lbs
1 pc-2.00x2.00x2.00in2.00lbs
Splitting method: If the splitting order conditions are met and the length, width, and height of the two items are not the same, they will be automatically split into two orders and divided according to the order of the items. The original order retains the first item, and the new order that is split saves the second item.
