It's the shipping weight that's the most important.
They don't have time to weigh all of the products taken out.
Because they might get a different weight for ambiguous packaging( box in box)

Seems many people including myself use the actual weight of the package rather than the shipping weight. You're SE'ing the item inside the box rather than the packaging etc.

Do the dimensions matter?

I personally try to get an item relatively similar. I personally wouldn't throw a 5 lb dumbell into a box thats 20x10x6, but I feel like some would say that "someone made a mistake" so it truly doesn't matter.

Just keep looking. I've literally went to stores near me before just to see some items they had in stock because I couldn't think of any.

You can buy an item that has the same UPC from any store like Target, Tesco, Costco, Walmart whatever. It just has to be the exact same item that Amazon provides / sells.
