Thanks, David")* Hi, There is no product type "shippable/virtual goods", it is just a dropdown to hide or show the options weight/dimensions. You can override the backend view if you want to remove that dropdown and always display the weight/dimensions options. But the dropdown, is just there for cosmetic issue.

Thanks, David")* Make that +1 for me: I agree. It might be good to have the option to hide weight/dimensions, but IMHO hiding something as default is likely to lead to irritations, so it should always be "unhidden" as default. Presently it seems to be confusing for many users: I'm seeing quite a few questions/comments here, most if not all of them being unnecessary if the default were "shippable". --- Need help with customisations of layouts, style or other site development?

That version will be released in a few days so you'll be able to update to it and set the option the way you want it.
