We'd need to add shopping catalogue fields for length, width and depth.
We'd need to implement taking of addresses locally, even if local payments isn't in use - and these would be passed through to the gateway.
The shipping cost could only be worked out after setting the address, so the cart flow would need tuning for that.
We'd have config options for Shippo, and if configured the shipping option management screen would allow you to add Shippo shipping options rather than just ones certain calculation parameters.
Even without Shippo, we should allow our shipping code to work out shipping using dimensions as a criteria.

Current limitations are being documented in the eCommerce tutorial....
