i need help.

i have an export company. we export lots of products - about 1000-2000 products.

i need a website that allows my visitors to browse through our products, add items they want, and then send a final quotation.

Basically something similar to a shopping cart - except i don't need the final credit card bit.

The purpose is for visitors to select items, and then send a request for a final quotation.

___

With exports / wholesale - we sell goods by the box.

So each product has to be sold by the box.

10 boxes etc etc.

Usually there are 50 pieces per box, sometimes 100 pieces.

So we need a 'shopping cart' feature that when checking out :

1) shows the unit price for each product
2) total cartons / total pieces
3) total size of the carton for each product
(each carton has a size - Meters cubed - multiply by the total cartons wanted).

Finally :
total Carton Size
total value

: send
