Dimensional weight measurement that matches how carriers bill
Many carriers price shipments based on dimensional weight, not just what a package weighs on the scale. ShipStation uses the dimensions you capture to calculate dimensional weight before you buy a label. That helps you compare carrier rates more accurately, avoid unexpected adjustment fees, and choose a shipping option that won’t cost more later.

Import dimensions your way: scan, click, or verify
Every warehouse has its own rhythm. ShipStation lets you bring in dimensions from your Cubiscan device in a few practical ways:
- Scan a barcode to import weight and dimensions from your dimensioner
- Pull dimensions into an order while you verify and print
- Import weight and dimensions manually when needed
This flexibility keeps the line moving, even during peak days, shift changes, or training.

Cubiscan and dimensional weight measurement FAQ
What is cubiscan in ShipStation?
Cubiscan is a dimensioner that captures package measurements and sends them to ShipStation. With that data, you can rate shop and buy labels using the real package size. It’s a practical upgrade for teams that ship too fast to measure by hand.
What does a cubiscan dimensioning system measure?
A cubiscan dimensioning system measures length, width, height, and weight for parcels. Those values feed into dimensional weight measurement for shipping. That helps ShipStation show more accurate carrier options before you print.
How does ShipStation use dimensions to calculate dimensional weight for carriers?
ShipStation applies the dimensions and weight on the shipment, then uses them when it pulls rates. This helps you calculate dimensional weight for carriers during label creation, not after the fact. You see the impact before you commit.
Can I automate shipping decisions with dimensions?
Yes. You can automate shipping decisions with dimensions using ShipStation automation rules and presets. For example, you can route larger boxes to a different service, or apply a package type automatically when dimensions come in.
Which carriers benefit most from accurate dimensional data?
Any carrier that uses dimensional billing benefits from accurate entry, including USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL Express. Accurate data can reduce adjustment charges and helps you choose the right service level. It also supports carrier rate comparison using dimensional data, which is where savings often show up.
Do I need special software for shipstation integration for warehouse tools?
You’ll use ShipStation Connect to link local hardware like a Cubiscan device to ShipStation. Once it’s running, your team can import dimensions where you’d normally read a scale. It’s designed for busy shipping stations, not complicated build-outs.
Which Cubiscan models does ShipStation support?
ShipStation supports Cubiscan 110, 125, 150, and 225 models. Some Cubiscan 75 and 75 Pro setups can also work by selecting the Cubiscan 110 option in ShipStation Connect. If you’re unsure, confirm your model before you set up.
Can these warehouse dimensioning tools work with multi-channel orders?
Yes. ShipStation is built for multi-channel shipping, so your warehouse dimensioning tools can support the same workflow across marketplaces and your webstore. Import orders, capture dimensions, apply shipping dimension automation, and print labels in batches from one dashboard.
