    Not sure I fully understand
    When I enter product weight - I don't get the option of entering lbs or kgs - am I to assume that after I replace every instance of lbs to Kgs in those two files - then the cart will assume that "ALL" weights (anywhere in the cart) are in fact quoted in kgs ? and integrate with the Royal Mail "kg" calculations ?

    Again - Not sure I fully understand
    Is there a way to "convert" the units ? - I don't think I have done anything like that !

    Vinyl Signs, you are correct. When you enter a weight you do not get a choice of units, because there aren't really any. You decide elsewhere whether the numbers you entered should have lbs. or kgs. or grams or whatever after them. Zencart makes no attempt whatsoever to reconcile weights between measurement systems.
    If, when you entered a product weight as you 'saw it on the pack' - 0.5 somethings that I will decide later are kgs. then you are fine. if you carefully converted it to lbs., you'll have to re-enter the weights.

    Thanks for that - I thought that there may have been some sort of "conversion" process built in somewhere - but obviously not !
    As long as you have kgs programmed "throughout" - the pricing from the RM will still be accurate - as the "prices" are "per" whatever unit you have set in your system ?
    Thanks again - still have a lot to learn
    (Sure I will need to return later - when I find the next problem ! )
