"ERROR:Unable to obtain a valid quote from the Australia Post Server.
You may still checkout using this method and we will contact you with postage costs as soon as possible."

How do I change the default lbs to show gms instead.

TIA
What is shown (lbs or kgs) isn't important. The important thing is the actual numbers.

If you enter a weight of "250" regardless of what you see on screen, the value being quoted for will be either 250 grams, or 250kgs, depending on what you have selected in the module configuration.

Also, don't forget to set your TARE weights, and the Maximum weight you will ship. Again, these are just 'numbers', but they must coincide with whatever setting Kgs/Gms you opt to use in the AP module.

To change the TEXT from "lbs" to "gms" or "kgs" or "moonrocks" you will need to edit the english.php files. There are are threads that detail this. Being a textual change it isn't going to solve your problem.

Cheers
