That will only pickup items that are set to volume dependent without dimensions,
not items that are set as weight dependent by default.

Also while I have your attention Russell, about 90% of the instruction books
in the catalog have the wrong dimensions. They're often listed as almost
double their actual size which often trips up IC.... Because I don't have
a shipping method for a 600mm long instruction book which is actually less than
300mm!

By default now I add my own dimensions when parting, but it's a trap for
anyone unaware of the issue.

Are these dimensions auto generated somehow? The issue seems to apply to almost
100% of new sets being added to the catalog. Checkout the listed dimensions
of the 1989 Batmobile instructions (76139) to see what I mean. - Actual size
is 270x195x15mm, but they're listed as being 581x374x10mm. It's a significant
difference, and causes all sorts of issues with instant checkout.

  Can we please have a function to search for items in our inventory with no catalog

some strange reason.

I'm getting tired of bulky items sneaking through Instant checkout at letter
rates because they're missing catalog dimensions, and I have no way of finding
which items need me to manually enter their dimensions.

The solution is already there for you. Be sure you have dimensions / weight turned
on for your store and then select the "Instant Checkout Unavailable" box in the
Show More Options section in your store inventory.

You are going to have to set instructions' dimensions for yourself at this time. I'll be adding or correcting those I have in the near future, as time allows. Some are [...]
