When you use calculated shipping, you’ll find that a few of the most common package types available from your Canada Post retailer are available in the “package” menu. If you select one of these pre-defined package types, you won’t need to input the dimensions of your package, just the weight of your item + packaging.

If you don’t use one of these pre-defined package types, you can still add calculated shipping services to your listing, just select “parcel” or “envelope”, and input the dimensions of your package.
