| I've got massive set boxes. I would like to charge shipping for them either
manually or based upon size. My elements I charge shipping based upon weight
and that is undesirable to me for the boxes given their size and comparatively
little weight.
Sorry for my grammar. I can't English at the moment.

When shipping with USPS, they will charge based off weight AND size of the package
as well as how far the package has to travel. Any large box is going to be shipped
in a LARGE package which will increase the shipping costs regardless of the weight.
I do not know how UPS or FedEx work, but those 2 companies are generally more
expensive than USPS.
I personally would only use manual for large boxes so you can do research to
find the lowest price for shipping for each one based on the buyer's location
before sending an invoice. You could do all the research before listing them
to have an idea of how much it would cost to ship to a close state and also the
farthest states. Make a list for each box you are going to sell so if someone
inquires about shipping for that box, you will only need to know what state they
are in, and you can give them a ballpark figure.

Thank you for the advice! How would I set that up on Bricklink?

| For each item that you want to do manually, go to your inventory and select “manual”
in the drop-down menu.

| See attached. Select Manual from the Pkg type drop down menu.
Here's a good explanation of Dimensional Weight:

USPS, UPS and FedEx all use DIM weight. Check to see what divisor they use.
