Dimensional Shipping Rates

[Muddler]

Hi folks -

I have weights and dimensions for my products. However, Zencart currently only allows the weight to be stored and used in the shipping calculations. (someone please correct me if I'm wrong).

Questions is - Does anyone know of a way that I can take a file with the weight and dimensions figures in it and then calculate the dimensional weight ?

Im guessing this would be something like a spreadsheet or db macro.
Or does anyone know how (formula) to use dimensions to derive the dimensional weight that I could use to create the macro.

Does UPS, Fedex, DHL, etc... have some way of doing this on a whole file not just one by one ?


Thanks

Nevermind, I figured it out.

L x W x H (in inches) / 194 (166 if by air) = Dimensional weight (lbs).

Compare this to the actual weight and take the higher number.
