UPS Shipping Module - UPS Pickup Method

[inovermyhead]

I'd say CC is right because I have had to pay fees to locations the ship.
I'd like to know what 0 and 6 are for.

Those two codes may not be documented anywhere, but in the install code in UPS.php, where the valid values for the pickup type are set, is:
$db->Execute("insert into " . TABLE_CONFIGURATION . " (configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, date_added) values ('UPS Pickup Method', 'MODULE_SHIPPING_UPS_PICKUP', 'CC', 'How do you give packages to UPS? CC - Customer Counter, RDP - Daily Pickup, OTP - One Time Pickup, LC - Letter Center, OCA - On Call Air', '6', '0', now())");

So I would assume UPS knows what the '6' & '0' values are, and calculates accordingly.

Does that ring any bells for anyone?

6 is the configuration_group_id and 0 is the sort_order ... that is internal to Zen Cart ...

6 is the configuration_group_id and 0 is the sort_order ... that is internal to Zen Cart ...

Thanks, Linda ... so that means, if we set the code to "6" that we aren't passing UPS any usable pickup method? So their rate calculation may produce a random value, instead of an actual shipping cost?

I'm wondering if anyone else has found a difference between the UPS site calculation and the ZC UPS calculation?

Maybe we should experiment with zeroing the handling charge to get the shipping cost down closer to what the UPS site figures it to be?

Usually price differences are related to Machinable and non-machinable rates ...

NOTE: Those two settings are just used to get the constants to run right in the Admin ... so don't play with them ...

OK, we'll stay away from the '0' & '6' values, and look at it from your machinable/non-machinable suggestion.

Thanks much,
