Product Dimensions?

Hello,

I am currently running a mortycycle supply site, and the products we would ship would be all different sizes. I need to know if ZENCART has a way of inputting the product dimensions so that when a custome requests a quote for shipping it would be accurate.

PLEASE OH PLEASE HELP!

Re: Product Dimensions?

The only mod I'm aware of that deals with product dimensions is the Canada Post shipping module (and maybe the Ozpost module).

Re: Product Dimensions?

can you use that for US shipments? I mean how are you supposed to give accurate shipping quotes without proper dimensions?

Re: Product Dimensions?

The great majority of shopowners do not use dimensions to determine their shipping costs. Obviously those whose products are bulky have more detailed needs for shipping, and adapting one of the mods that do use dimensions would be appropriate. I highly doubt that a canada post or ozpost mod will work for the US without customizing.
