UPS Shipping using RESTful/OAuth API [Support Thread]

[spyderrobotics]

Two packages of a lesser weight tend to cost less than a single package that's twice the weight.

I am using shipstation if that makes a difference. I am using my ups number that shipstation gives me.

Here is another sample shipment:

So if I have it set up with a max of 200 lbs and I have a cart with 36lbs of product the cart shows 1 box @ 36lbs ($23.18)

If I set zc to 30lbs max then the cart shows 2 boxes @ 19.8 lbs. ($22.62)

The weight difference is because it adds the 10% per the zc default setting.

When I do a rate check in shipstation 1 box at 36 lbs would be $23.18

Two boxes of smaller size at 19.8 lbs each would actually be $15.91 per box. $31.82 total.

So single package seems to work fine and grabs the right rate.

Double gets wonky. I am not sure if this is because of trying to grab the rate they have worked out with shipstation or if its something in the module.

in my experience, this is not the case. especially if the package does not meet the overweight surcharge, typically 50 lbs or 70 lbs depending on the service.

ship station seems correct. those numbers are what i would expect.

best.

I know it was stated that package dimensions were planned for a future release. Just checking to see if there was any progress with this? I appreciate the hard work in making the module.

Thanks

No progress, other that I've now created a GitHub issue to remind me of the request: https://github.com/lat9/upsoauth/issues/52
