Grammes is useless. No idea who thought of that one, it's about as much use as using "grains" in US measures. A gramme is about the same weight as a sheet of paper ... no one uses grammes for shipping.
Please add Kilograms to Shipstation instead of grams. We have a lot if international business that uses Kilograms.

When creating a new label for a shipment, we should have the ability to change from kg to g and vice versa through a dropdown or make it a default from the back office.

I would like to import my inventory via bulk csv from Wix which includes weights of items in kg. Your sample bulk csv file shows that you import weight of items in oz not kg. In the UK and Europe we use metric - and I am able to display weight in kg within my orders.
In UK all couriers (e.g. UPS, Fedex, PArcelforce, DX, DPD, etc.) use kgs only - no one works in grams when sending parcels. As such, feature request gets my vote - thanks!

Have the option to have presets shown in kilograms. Currently only options for grams, pounds and ounces.
1000 grams is a kilogram

Thanks Tim, this isn't actually a conversion issue it is for compatibility with our imports.

Cannot believe this is not a feature. Not all countries operate in the same was as the USA - the UK and most European countries DON'T. It really is surprising that a key piece of information on a widely used piece of software does not properly function for half of the world. Seriously, implement KGs. It is really messing things up for a lot of companies. Reading through comments here, we are in the same boat - incorrect shipping labels, incompatibility with other software etc. This "idea" was first raised by your customers in 2016, we're now at the end of 2021. How can this be so hard to change??

 

Sort it out Shipstation.

@SuperMgr-Sarah 

It is beyond comprehension that shipping in KG is not an option. Any retailer using the metric system will be shipping in KG.

All our shipments are of a variable weight and size. We need to multiply everything by 1000 to get an accurate weight, which creates a huge margin for error.

It also couldn't possibly be a difficult thing to do at a development level, the fact this has been hanging around since 2016 is just crazy.
