dssquirt Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 I have installed the ups shipping charges and the shipping charges are coming up too high. When I do a test order, for example 3 pounds it is $16.17 to send ups. If I go to the ups website and ask for a quote for the same weight it comes up about $3.00 lower. Any ideas on how to fix this?

breamillman Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 Maybe in your admin panel- under configuration - shipping/packaging? There are 2 spots that will affect your final shipping cost: Package Tare Weight & Larger Packages Percentage Increase. If they are both set to anything other than 0- it will add something to your final shipping cost. At least it does in the shipping modules I have installed, and UPS is not one of them.

dssquirt Posted May 7, 2005 Author Share Posted May 7, 2005 I was told with ups I had to have a tare weight or it would not figure shipping charges. Maybe I will experiment by taking it out and see what happens. Thanks for the input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake7390 Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 Hi, I am having the same problem with USPS. I have the tare weight and the percentage increase for larger packages set to zero, as well as no handling charges, but I am still getting shipping charges about three dollars above what they should be for parcel only. For example, for a package weight .29 for same city delivery, it's calculating it at 4 dollars, when in real life the delivery actually only runs about 1.52. Any ideas on where I should look to correct this? Is there any other information I can provide that would help? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
