shopping cart: multiple shipping addresses for multiple items

Dear all,

I am working on a shopping cart for a site that sells Native American 
Art. The owner of the site somehow envisions a checkout system a la 
amazon.com...

Today he suddenly got the idea that the customer should be able to 
ship different items to different mailing addresses. The shoppingcart 
system would then calculate tax and shipping cost separately and add 
everything up.

My question goes to the shopping cart seasoned ones among you:

How frequently, in your experience, does it happen that customers 
want to send different items to different destinations? (Again, these 
are items of art, jewelry, weaving etc.)

I just need to figure out whether it really is worth the hassle to 
get custom coding.

I am using edatcat's shopping cart system, and am quite happy with 
it. Has anyone experience with this one too and could I contact you 
off-list?


Thanks a lot for your input :-)
