Hi there,

You have to set a volume to your products and create a shipping method which handle these restrictions.
You can indeed set a minimum and maximum width, height... and volume. That should do the trick!

It's basically the same thing that you did with the price.
Have a look at our documentation: [ www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/i...form.html#additional](http://www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/integrated-documentation/10-hikashop/31-hikashop-shipping-manual-form.html#additional)

You just have to set a minimum volume for this specific method.
