Ups Shipping

[showery]

Is there a contrib yet that uses UPS or FEDEX that don't have to connect to there server to get quotes. I use to use a cart called CubeCart and the UPS mod used updated fee's written in the code that gave approx shipping cost it may differ within a dollar one way or the other, based on weight of product. I used that one and found it pretty accurate and easy to use. I did not need to have an account with UPS for it to work. Is there a contrib like this for OSC yet??

 

 

Thanks

If you don't want to hook into the UPS servers for getting accurate quotes, you could use one of the contributions that uses zones instead. It's been a while, but I believe the contribution that I use for my USPS Priority shipping rates is the Mutlizones By Weight Enhanced contribution;

This allows you to specify as many zones as you need for various shipping fees, but it's not very versatile and it's very time consuming to go through and figure out all of the zones you'll need, which countries need to be in those zones, and how much to charge per weight increments (we use pounds). but it's the best option for us, right now, because the USPS contribution that I'm using for Express mail within the U.S. isn't smart enough for my needs (I'm working on that...).

 

Hope this helps.

Thank Brian I will give that a look and see what I can figure out on it.
