HOW TO ENTER DIMENSIONS

Package Size: Must set at LARGE.
Width: Enter the value.
Length: Enter the value.
Height: Enter the value.
Girth: Enter the value.

NOTE: Currently it is not supporting the various dimension for each product to have it's own length, width, height and girth. All products currently will be treated as same global dimensions.
If you want to have each product it's own dimension then this will require customisation.
