Remove Weight from step 1 of checkout?

You would need to compare that shipping modules to something like USPS and see what method is used to show or not show the weight ...

Example, check the ups.php file for where the constant:
SHIPPING_BOX_WEIGHT_DISPLAY

is used that controls this from the Admin ...

I removed the weights from the shipping estimate pop-up and the shopping cart by using the Developer Tool Kit to find the right files that they were in and removed those entries.
Unfortunately, I didn't record the names of the files I changed. I know that I couldn't figure out how to save the files as overrides.
It did take me a while of finding the define names and then doing additional searches to find where they were used. I'll try to remember. If I do, I'll post again.
You can see the result if you go to http://www.rabbitinmyhat.com and take something to the shipping estimator. There is no reference to weight that my customer would see.

Did you ever remember the files?

I have removed the mention of "weight" everywhere except on the "shipping estimator" pop-up.

This is the last place I have to do!

If there isn't a switch on the Shipping Estimator to remove the totals but you can customize the template tpl_modules_shipping_estimator.php in your templates and overrides and comment out the display for:

<?php if (!empty($totalsDisplay)) { ?>
<div class="cartTotalsDisplay important"><?php echo $totalsDisplay; ?></div>
<?php } ?>

and below that for:

<?php if (!empty($totalsDisplay)) { ?>
<div class="cartTotalsDisplay important"><?php echo $totalsDisplay; ?></div>
<?php } ?>

But first try the switch in the Configuration ... Layout Settings ...

Shopping Cart - Show Totals
Show Totals Above Shopping Cart?
0= off
1= on: Items Weight Amount
2= on: Items Weight Amount, but no weight when 0
3= on: Items Amount

What about:

Config > Shipping/Packaging > Display Number of Boxes and Weight Status > Set to 0

That removed the weight from the shipping estimator for me!
