Shipping dimensions in products - canada post

[Australian Caching]

With all the talk about, and problems with shipping dimensions, can one of you smart programmers PLEASE add an option in the product setup to add product dimensions in either or both imperial and metric, this can't be too hard to do for a programmer.

Canada post, and others I imagine need to capture individual dimensions to allocate products (as many as possible) to your chosen envelope or carton size, and they can even bounce back to the customer with recomended products that will still fit in a box without adding to shipping, an excellent cross sell.

a table like this (imagine it is a table)

Units Width Height Length
Imperial 1.97" x 6.50" x 1.18"
Metric 5.0 cm. x 16.5 cm. x 3.0 cm.

(C.P. requires cm, others may require mm)

(with an option for one or both depending on who you ship with)

At this stage, I only need metric, but if I later ship to the States, I may need imperial.

Can't be that hard can it?

Does anyone else want this, I can't be the only one.
