Weight and Price Based Shipping

[Guest]

I help manage a store that has over 16000 products and when we got the feed to import them, they have no weight. So we assigned a generic 1 pound weight, so the price based shipping table rate would work.

 

Well there are many items that he is losing money on since the shipping rates should be based on weight, but we cannot update 16,000 items.

 

Is there any workaround for this???

 

Thank you all!!!! I appreciate your help and advice...

Why can't you update them. You have to if you want weight based shipping. All you really need is one set of data that has the name and the weight. With that you could use the product_name as the key to update the prouduct_weight in the products table.
