UPS XML: Support Thread

[mrsawyer]

Greetings,

I have set up our API Key and run some cross-country shipping tests (in test mode) using UPS-XML Version 1.7.8. I set the Customer Classification Code to 00 so that rates displayed would reflect our contracted agreement with UPS. I then tried using the exact same shipping information with the Customer Classification Code set to 53 to display the regular rates for comparison. To my surprise, the regular rates were about 4% to 7% lower than our contracted "discounted" UPS rates.

I have contacted UPS to make sure they have given us the correct code and have also activated the contract. While I am awaiting a reply, I thought I'd check with the forum folk here to see if using test mode could account for this, or if there is some other possible reason I have overlooked, or if there is the remote possibility that the plugin has an error.

I am hoping that some readers of this post will be so kind as to run a similar test and share their findings.

Thanks,
