shipping module

something is not working right. I have a product which is about 6lbs and i have the UPS shipping module installed. The cheapest, ground shipping, is $22 to the same city. I don't think it takes $22 to ship a 6lbs object in the same city. How do I fix this?

could be a few reasons, one being the tare weight in the admin/configuration/shipping.  other would be a misconfiguration of the originating zip code.

im sure that the originating zip code is correct...the tare weight is set to 3....how does the tare weight effect it? What should it be set to?

Check to make sure that you are not including Packaging in that cost. There is a setting for Tare Weight (weight of packaging material) which by default is 3lbs. You'll find it under Configuration --> Shipping/Packaging in osCommerce 'admin'.

but i do include packaging anyway which is probably about 3lbs. The product is 3lbs. So that's 6. But $22 for 6lbs in same city? By the way i used the default UPS. Is there something i am doing wrong?

If you are using the default UPS module, that one doesn't give live shipping rates but rather calcuates costs based upon an average price in addition with the items above that VGER mentions.

 

I would suggest you do install on the UPS XML shipping rates system. It is incredible, has nice options, but does require you to signup for a free UPS account.

 

One of them commonly used is here:
