If you do NOT set a minimum weight, do you still need to use the Drop down under Minimum Weight to select the weight measurement unit for the Maximum weight? Or does the maximum use a default weight measurement unit? The documentation only explains what each field is for, but doesn't explain if you need to select one of the measurement units under "Minimum Weight" for the Maximum Weight or if there is a default that is used. My assumption would be that selecting the correct unit is important, but without knowing if there is a default or if the Drop down under Minimum is used, I could be configuring this wrong. I included a screenshot displaying my question just in case I confused anyone. Also, just as an FYI, the Drop Down for the Container has "Flat" for the Flat Rate Boxes type-oed as "Flate" :) Not a big deal but just thought I would mention it. 3 Screenshots Attaches 1 - Showing question regarding Max Weight / Drop Down for Measurement Unit Drop down Question - HikaShop-USPS-Plugin-Min-Max-Weight-Measurement-Unit-Question.jpg 2 - Showing the Help File, doesn't explain which measurement unit is defaulted for Maximum Weight or if the Drop down from Minimum Weight is used.
