Shipping calculate in grams not kgs

Konichiwa fellow zenners! I just installed the AusPost module and all is working fine (thanks Gerard!), except: my products in grams (because small). However the Post module calculates in kgs so it thinks 140gms = 140kg!! so the shipping cost is astronomical!!

I suppose i have a few choices:

  1. Change all the figures in the database!! But that will take forever.

  2. Convert the weight variable to kgs before it goes to check the database for the cost.

Any others? I'm open to suggestions or if anyone can suggest how to accomplish option no. 2. Please, please advise.

Thank you so much in advance.

In the product entry page change the weight from 140gms to - .140kgs
