UPS Module Setup

[Trac Nez]

I am trying to set up UPS shipping to get automatic quotes from UPS. I do not see anything in the UPS module screen that allows me to supply any info about connecting to UPS. I also cannot find setup instructions. Anyone know where such instructions are or can help me?

Thanks for the reply.

After playing with it for a while, I discovered that I misunderstood how it calculates weight per box, and I set that to a value that was too high to be valid. Once I lowered the weight / box to a reasonable value, it works.

UPS had confused me by saying that I needed an account with them to make this work, which is not correct.

When I test with a test account from germany the shipping for ups international saver ends up being $130 for a 2 lb box! That can't possibly be right. What is going on?
