OSC is missing a feature that I really need.  I would like to have the ability to specify different shipping address for each item.  I know that there is no contribution for this, although perhaps there is one that could be modified to help.

  The best solution that I can think of for this would be to have the shipping address be added and the shipping calculated before the item is placed in the cart.  Basically making the shipping calculation an attribute of the product.  I know this would be relatively easy with fixed price shipping, but what about with table rates and calculated shipping.

  Also I have seen it asked before but never answered.  How would one go about disabling the Address Book?

  I am slowly learning PHP and was hoping that someone could start me off in the right direction by giving me an idea of what files I would need to look at modifying.
