When providing your box content information or purchasing shipping labels through InventoryLab, you will be prompted to input your box weight and dimensions if you do not provide this information while entering your box content.
Note: You will not be prompted to enter weight and dimensions in InventoryLab when using a non-partnered carrier. In this instance, box weight and dimensions will be entered when calculating shipping with the carrier.

A window will appear with fields to enter your box's Length, Width, and Height in inches and Weight in pounds.

When prompted, you can enter the dimensions for each box individually or at the same time using the "All Boxes" section. You can still manually edit the weight/dimensions for individual boxes afterward if needed.
The step to add weight and dimensions to your shipping boxes is optional if you are sending box content information using feeds, but it is a necessary step to estimate shipping charges when completing shipments in InventoryLab for Partnered Carrier shipments.
If this step is required, such as when estimating shipping label costs for Partnered Carrier shipments, you won't be able to move forward until the weight/dimensions for each box have been entered.
Or, if the information is being transmitted to Amazon but not used to estimate shipping charges, click Submit All to move forward.
If you choose to Send All Feeds and Choose Carrier or Print All 2D Barcodes and Choose Carrier for a batch, you'll be able to enter the weight and dimensions for all of the shipments at once, as shown here:
