Every label created appears as shipping weight 16 Oz. For example I’m using the following code for a 25 Oz shipping: > $username=“username”; > $password=“password”; > $header=[“Authorization”=\> “Basic " . base64\_encode(”$username:$password")]; > $header[“Content-Type”]=“application/json”;

Hi, I believe the weight may be coming from the shipment in this scenario. If you get the shipment, what is the weight in the response? sophie ---

Yes, The response for the shipment is “weight=1”. I already solved the problem, I’m using the “PUT” shipment for to place weight information after generate the order and before generate the label. Thank You.
