I just noticed that all of them seem to have been imported with their weights in KG instead of in Pounds. I have no idea why this happened by I suspect it is because the old VM had the "Unit of Measure" as "pounds." with a period after it so maybe the importer thought that was an error and defaulted it to KG? In any case is there a way to change the default weight class for all of the products? -- url of the page with the problem -- :http://www.straightarrowhosting.net/~sawstemp/regional/new -- HikaShop version -- : 2.3.2 -- Joomla version -- : 3.3.1 -- PHP version -- : 5.4.29 Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzM3LWltcG9ydC1leHBvcnQtY3N2LXhscy84Njk4ODItcHJvZHVjdC13ZWlnaHRzLWltcG9ydGVkLWFzLWtnLWJ1dC1zaG91bGQtYmUtcG91bmQ/dG1wbD1tYXJrZG93bg==) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile")** - [![nicolas's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/avatars/resized/size144/users/avatar63.png)](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile") - [ Offline](/forum/user/63-nicolas) Less More - Posts: 86290 - Thank you received: 14268 - - 12 years 3 months ago [\#165056](#165056) by [nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile") Replied by *[nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile")* on topic *[Product weights imported as KG but should be Pound](/forum/37-import-export-csv-xls/869882-product-weights-imported-as-kg-but-should-be-pound#165056 "I imported 900 or so products from an old VM installation.

So in order to avoid that problem, just changing the order of that option before the import would have solved your issue. Now that it's done, you'll have to create a new mass action via the menu System>Mass actions with a filter value of 1000 (to cover all the products), and an action "update the values" on the column "product_weight_unit" with the value "lb". Then just click on the "process" button to run the mass action and change the weight unit of all the products at once.
