puckman Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Good day Have tried the following post in the shipping modules but have not yet recieved a response so thought that maybe it was a config issue so tried it here. Hope someone can advise and help. I am setting up my first osCommerce store and need some advice on the following shipping conundrum. I am based in South Africa and am going to use UPS as my shipper. UPS do not evidently have an "online" solution for rates and quotes in the country at present but offer worldship 6.0 as a solution. I therefore want to set up osCommerce to calculate its own rates etc for clients but need them to be as accurate as possible. I have a table from the local UPS office with 7 "shipping zone" columns and multiple "weight" lines to work from. What is the simplest and easiest way to integrate this into the webshop? Can the webshop access an excel file so that the information can be easily and quickly updated? (Please!) There are a number of possible avenues in the "shipping modules" contributions that may apply but I need guidance as to the most economical, accurate and suitable solution. Someone please help. I look forward to the response Regards Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mentalskylight Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Hi Have you looked at the SA Post Office contribution for some ideas? This effectively has a 'table' siimilar to what you describe, although the admin is a bit clumsy....... Really don't have the skills to help you further but good luuck. Love to know how you progress Regards Good day Have tried the following post in the shipping modules but have not yet recieved a response so thought that maybe it was a config issue so tried it here.
