Hello community! I have read many posts and you guys are really helpful to one another.

Recently we just started a new site that dropships various types of products. We have many dropshippers all of which have different ways of shipping. Some have a flat rate, some use fedex, and some use UPS. From some of the posts that I have read, there isnt a true module out that can handle all of these different types of shipping but I most certainly could be wrong!

Is there a module or method available that can do the following? I think if these fields were added, shipping for dropship suppliers could be automated:

1. A “location” field when adding or editing a manufacturer (to determine the ‘ship from’ location)
2. A “shipping method” section when adding or editing a manufacturer that includes their company and available methods of shipping
3. Add height, width and length fields to each product (to go along with the current ‘weight’ field)
4. Multiple methods including using weight as the price for one item and UPS/FedEx for another.

If these fields were available, a module could be created where UPS and FedEx standard shipping rates could be calculated. Is there anything like this out there available?

Thanks for your help in advance!


We are new at this so any advice would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!
