Caculate shipping charges later.

I'd like to calculate shipping charges when the order is processed and boxed to ship.

While placing an order I'd like the customer to be able to choose either will call or ups shipping.

Then we'd email the customer with the shipping total once the item is ready.

Is that something that could be setup easily?

Re: Caculate shipping charges later.

Ok it looks like what I basically want to do is this.

Edit the built in UPS module to not calculate the shipping total, and instead have it say something like 'shipping to be calculated'.

I'd the customer to still be able to select the different shipping times (1 day, 3 day ect.)

Re: Caculate shipping charges later.

Seems like a little overkill to modify the UPS module. Since you aren't actually calculating shipping on the site, I would just replicate the store pick up module so that it reads shipping to be calculated and let the order go into a pending state while you work out the gory details with the customer. The fly in the ointment here is that credit card charges will be authorized for the amount without shipping and a separate charge must be made for the shipping amount.
