Although the information on package weight, maximal package length, maximal girth, etc. will not be printed on the shipping label, UPS requires this information for their planning. Therefore, BC must provide information on package weight so that API requests from BC can be accepted and processed by UPS. If this information is incomplete or missing, it will lead up to an error message during API requests and the shipping label cannot be printed.
