UPS Shipping Calcs Too High


Admiral Keth

Recommended Posts

The values returned by the UPS shipping module are too high!

 

I have conducted numerous tests using OSCommerce, as well as manually through the UPS online calculator. OSCommerce returns $6.40 for a 1 pound package from zip 92867 to zip 89014. UPS (billToUPS=no) returns $6.40. UPS (billToUPS=yes) returns $4.97.

 

I have configured the Shipping and Packaging module to have zero (0) tare. There is no Handling charge defined in the UPS Shipping module.

 

It appears as if the billToUPS variable is defaulting to 'no' if one is not specified. Once this value is set to 'yes', the rates will be more accurate.

 

How do I change the ups.php to include and pass the billToUPS=yes variable to the UPS shipping calculator?

After some experimentation, I can get the following string to duplicate what I need:

 

http://wwwapps.ups.com/QCCWebApp/request/htmltool?49_residential=1&27_height=8&weight_std=lbs.&24_value=0&47_rate_chart=Daily+Pickup&22_destCountry=US&26_width=4&25_length=12&14_origCountry=US&15_origPostal=92867&origCity=Orange&19_destPostal=89014&destCity=Henderson&23_weight=1&length_std=in.&48_container=00&billToUPS=1

 

However, I am still having difficulty getting the ups.php to programmatically do the same thing.
