USPS: Dimensions and Girth required.

For v 1.4.9.6, dimensions and girth are required. For dimensions, it says "Product dimensions are not used for shipping at this time." So when are they used?

And if we enter 0 for the Girth, how will that effect things? In older versions, dimensions and girth were not required fields, so I'm wondering how the requirement effects charges.

It says "Product" dimensions aren't used. That is why you need to manually enter the dimensions there. In older versions it was defaulted to 1x1x1x1

I am still kind of curious. If you have LxWxH what is girth? As far as I knew we lived in a 3 dimensional world, so where does the fourth dimension come in?

Ask your gf what girth is... she can explain best :P
Since girth is a calculatable field, I've removed it as a manual entry and am now calculating it now from the other dimensions.

So if product dimensions are not created, does it fall back on the dimensions setup in the shipping extension? When are those dimensions used?

It currently ONLY uses the ones in the shipping extension.

This is a problem for me because I ship skateboards and skateboard wheels. They are two very different sizes!

When will this take the product size rather than a default?
