Add Custom Package Weight

I manually alter my product dimensions and weights within shipstation products tabs because Amazon imports inaccurate information. 

Personally, I made preset groups such as socks, belts, t-shirts, etc to help speed up updating dims and weights for several thousand SKUs. I know socks weigh 4 oz. with packaging. I know the average t-shirt weighs 6 oz with packaging, and so on. 

It's time-consuming, but the end results make it worth it when processing orders. 

Sadly, we don't even bother pulling the weights from the SKUs for this very reason. Shipping 700-800 a week and weighing every single package. It seems like a small thing, but those times add up.

Oh my god, we need this! What an easy feature that is missing... This was posted over a year ago and Shipstation hasn't added this feature yet? We have 4 custom boxes we use very often that range from 2 oz to 37.2 oz and we have to manually add those weight to the total order weight after we select the package. We have all of our product weights entered in to auto populate but I agree, what's the point if it doesn't account for the box/dunnage? 

Currently shipping about 400 orders per week and this would be SO HELPFUL. 

honestly cannot believe package weight is not a function of the shipping calculator, it's just the simplest thing in the world.  I have to use ShipperHQ (instead of SS) just because of this, so silly

I would also love to see this! For those who's processes would be complicated by this, they could just leave the empty package weight field empty.  This seems like a pretty basic and obvious feature that Shipstation should implement. 

I'm still waiting on this feature to be added.

This is such a basic feature with huge efficency time saving. When will we get it? This was first proposed in 2021

Hello, @RespCom!

Thank you for your suggestion. We’ve passed it along to our development team for review.

Happy Shipping!

I've been asking for this for years. We don't use Shipstation during the holidays because of this - it slows us down too much. We have a lot of different package options, from poly bags to kraft boxes, and our staff has to remember the weights of all of them. There's too much room for error. 

Hello @amack!

Thank you so much for your continued support and enthusiasm for this request! The developers are aware of its importance, and we’re eager to be a helpful resource for you during the holiday season. As soon as I receive an update from the team, I’ll be sure to share it with the community.

We truly appreciate your patience and persistence—it’s feedback like yours that drives us to improve and deliver the best experience for our users!

Happy Shipping!

Been waiting for this since 2021....

This should be a standard feature. It's frustrating as we have multi-unit packages so I can't add the extra package weight to the individual item as it will then be overweight. Really, really need to get devs on this...it's a standard feature with every other shipping platform and should be included with every custom package set up.
