I am trying to figure out why my shipping estimate tool and shipping cost in the check out process is not working. I am using UPS and if I look at the log created I see the error description: 00 is not a valid unit of measurement for dimensions for this shipment.

In my store local settings under Administration > Configure > Store my Unit of Measurement is set to Inches.

Here is an example of the log:

If you have any suggestions I would appreciate.

Hi Eric,

I think it's because your L X W X H numbers aren't whole numbers, like they should be.

Code: Select all

</UnitOfMeasurement><Length>33.02</Length><Width>25.40</Width><Height>22.86</Height>

The dimensions for this particular product is 13x10x9 inches. AB seems to convert the values to centimeters before to pass it to UPS. This might be normal specially due to our Canadian location? AB might use UPS Canada for their request and therefore converting the value to the metric system? So my guest would be that the UnitOfMeasurement should be centimeter but for some reason it's missing.
Any clue someone?
Thanks,
Eric
