edschaum Posted September 25, 2002 Posted September 25, 2002 Hi, Do the USPS and UPS shipping modules calculate insurance cost? For instance, I might ship a $5,000 diamond ring that weighs only 1 lb. Is the rate calculated on both weight and value of the order, or just weight? thanks, Ed
Ian Posted September 25, 2002 Posted September 25, 2002 The short answer is no. The table rate shipping method can be set to calculate shipping based on the value of a product but only in bands rather than a percentage. I did find this though http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/viewtopic.php...pping+insurance Trust me, I'm an Accountant.
sfatula Posted September 25, 2002 Posted September 25, 2002 And the medium size answer is that of course you can modify the shipping modules to do insurance if you wish, yes, it is *very* useful when you have expensive items. Steve
Paul_C Posted September 25, 2002 Posted September 25, 2002 Do the UPS and USPS (or any other) APIs even handle this? "It's a damn poor mind that can only think of one way to spell a word." -- Andrew Jackson
