Big $$$ being pulled in for USPS and UPS

[Cyndi]

We have accounts set up with both UPS and USPS. For instance, an item that weighs less than 0.7 oz this is the shipping rates:

United Parcel Service (3.19lbs) United Parcel Service
$109.33
Next Day Air Early AM
$75.54
Next Day Air
$69.05
Next Day Air Saver
$43.00
2nd Day Air AM
$37.06
2nd Day Air
$27.09
3 Day Select
$12.77
Ground
United States Postal Service (3.19lbs) United States Postal Service
$11.57
Parcel Post (4 - 7 days)
Zone Rates
$10.50
Shipping to US (3.19lb(s))


Also, UPS wrote to me and said: For rate requests, your shopping cart should be point to the following URL: https://onlinetools.ups.com/ups.app/xml/Rate


Any help appreciated. Thank you!

Check your Tare Rates in the Configuration ... Shipping/Packaging ... and most likely you need to set both of the Tare Rates to 0:0 ...

It did fix both, thank you! I went on to UPS and did a "check time and cost," and jeez, their rates did go up!

I just checked as well and am stunned at how high the rates are! I thought I had my settings wrong.
