I'm using Magento Community 1.9.2, I'm new at this and I want to set shipping properly with UPS and USPS. I've set weight along with length, width and height (these 3 are custom attributes) for each of my products and I can see that at shipping options only weight is taken in consideration for UPS and USPS.

I have products that fit in an envelope and products that fit in a box, so I can't charge standard flat rate.

My question is: what the measurement unit of UPS and USPS and what's the best way to setup this properly?

Thanks

Yes, you are right, Magento only sends weight information to UPS and USPS.

  • The measurement unit for USPS is imperial: pounds
  • The measurement unit for UPS is editable in System Configuration > Shipping Methods > UPS > Weight Unit: LBS or KGS

As it sounds like you are needing better data sent, I suggest looking into WebShopApps Dimensional Shipping module: http://webshopapps.com/us/shipping/dimensional-shipping.html. The packaging aspect can get pretty tricky, so it is nice to use a pre-built module to take care of that.
