# User Parcel Templates

A user parcel template represents a package used for shipping that has preset dimensions and attributes defined 
by you. They are useful for capturing attributes of parcel-types you frequently use for shipping, allowing 
them to be defined once and then used for many shipments. These parcel templates can also be used for live rates.

User parcel templates can also be created using a carrier parcel template, where the dimensions will be copied from 
the carrier presets, but the weight can be configured by you.

## List all user parcel templates

 - [GET /user-parcel-templates](https://docs.goshippo.com/shippoapi/public-api/user-parcel-templates/listuserparceltemplates.md): Returns a list all of all user parcel template objects.

## Create a new user parcel template

 - [POST /user-parcel-templates](https://docs.goshippo.com/shippoapi/public-api/user-parcel-templates/createuserparceltemplate.md): Creates a new user parcel template. You can choose to create a
parcel template using a preset carrier template as a starting point, or
you can create an entirely custom one. To use a preset carrier template,
pass in a unique template token from this list
plus the weight fields (weight and weight_unit). Otherwise, omit
the template field and pass the other fields, for the weight, length, height,
and depth, as well as their units."
