# Wrong Parcel type selected

 * We have a product that is 300 grams, is 14cm long, 7cm wide and 6cm deep.
 * When ordering it gives the option of Signed for 1st class £4.05 or Signed for
   2nd Class £3.55
 * These prices are are for a Large Letter: Max L: 35.3cm x Max W: 25cm x Max D:
   2.5cm
 * As you can see the product is 6cm deep and the max large letter depth is 2.5cm,
   so it should not be choosing Large Letter up to 500g but a small parcel up to
   2kg instead.
 * Is this a bug or is there anything we can do? We have about 8 products this size
   and so the delivery charges will be wrong each time they are ordered.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fwrong-parcel-type-selected%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

       Hi,
   
       in the free version, the package dimensions are always taken from the shipping method settings. The packing algorithm will be added in the PRO version.
   
       Kind regards

 * ‘The package dimensions are always taken from the shipping method settings’
 * Sorry I don’t understand. On checking other products it looks like the shipping
   is decided purely on the weight of the product or the inputted default weight
   if no weight is added to the product and therefore the dimensions are irrelevant.
   Is this correct?
 * When is the pro version coming out?

 * The weight is taken from the contents of the cart / package. If the products 
   do not have an assigned weight, the default weight defined in the shipping method
   settings is used.
 * Shipment dimensions are defined in the shipping method settings, they are not
   calculated from the contents of the cart / package.

 * Dimensions: That’s fine if all your products are the same size but ours are all
   different so you can’t have a standard size, so it doesn’t really work for us.

 * Hi [@3bsstudio](https://wordpress.org/support/users/3bsstudio/),
 * I believe that the packing algorithm which will be implemented in the plugin’s
   PRO version as [@grola](https://wordpress.org/support/users/grola/) mentioned
   previously should do the job in your case. It will allow to choose the Royal 
   Mail standard packagings or define your own custom boxes which should be used
   for fitting and shipping the ordered products. Once the products are checked 
   and fit to the most optimal boxes’ setup the plugin will calculate the proper
   shipping rates.
 * Unfortunately, according to wp.org ToS, this forum is dedicated only to the Royal
   Mail Live Rates plugin free version and we are not supposed to discuss the PRO
   features here. If you are interested in Royal Mail Live Rates PRO version, please
   contact us directly at [https://octolize.com/support/](https://octolize.com/support/)
   or [sign up for Royal Mail Live Rates PRO](https://octolize.com/product/royal-mail-woocommerce-live-rates-pro/)
   to stay up to date and be notified as soon as it is released.
 * Kind regards,
    Luke

 * Since there are no further inquiries concerning this case I’m marking this thread
   as resolved.
