I have set most of my items with preset weight and dimensions

I have a problems when I have multi item order, that cannot be preset, 

I want to make it idiot proof, shipper doesn't care, if a label print, he will ship without entering weight and dimensions, even if it cost me all the profit and ship at loss.

I found that if multiproduct shipment are at zero weight, a label doesn't print,

that force shipper to enter weight then he can print label,

but some shipping company can generate label without having sizes entered.

So I don't have the best rate or the best provider.

Sugestion : add a way to block creating a label if dimensions are all at zero when on “package” ?

ShipStation’s Automation rules are extremely powerful and I am sure this will get added at some point.

You can also look into String. We do have automation that can tag and move orders with dimensional or weight issues. It can also figure out and update your order to use the most optimal package, set the dimensions and weight.
