 * can you please give it an update in the near feature to have the possibility 
   adding a predefined weight of packaging</br>
    like packaging 1=adds 0,5kg 2=adds,
   0,8kg and 3=adds 1kg to the product weight, to generate the right label now you
   have to do it manually which can end up in mistakes

 * If you set the product weights then the weight will be calculated automatically.
   Are you saying this is not working?

 * this works
    issue is that parcels have more weight then the only the porduct 
   weight, how can I automatically add a packacking weight for the packaing weight
   itself the product weight is 1.7kg and packaging weight is 0.4kg, then the total
   weight is 2.1kg and not 1.7kg like the system says and this would generate the
   false label

 * You would have to do this programmatically using the filter ‘pr_shipping_dhl_order_weight’
   and adding any weight you want.

 * Hi Shadi
    We have the same issue, we ship Bottles which we have the weight as
   liter 0.7 (we has to) but the real shipment weight with the packaging is different.
   Could you please so kind and explain how to use the filter that you mentioned
   above.
 * Thanks

 * This would be really helpful! I’ve already generated a lot of shipment labels
   based on product weight only, which gave a totally wrong overall weight of the
   final parcel.
    Before this plugin came on I used a third party plugin ( ELEX 
   WooCommerce DHL Express ) to generate and print shipment labels. There it was
   possible to generate shipping measurements and weights. The total weight was 
   then calculated based on product weight + packaging. It would be very useful 
   if this plugin by DHL itself would be able to do those calculations!

 * This will be added in a future version of the plugin.
