Guest Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Default Shipping Unit The unit of weight to be used for shipping is set as Grams, Kilograms, Ounces, or Pounds. In my store there isn't a field for Default Shipping Unit. Can anyone tell me where to find this? We use lbs and I can only imagine it is using this as its method? We currently have as price based...so does the Default Shipping Unit field show up when we go to weight based? Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
