Re: residential or business address?

What you will run into is that your customer is running/claiming to have a business address. When in fact UPS states it is not a business address and there are no discounts.

So the customer enters I have a business address you charge based on that. Then UPS changes them to residential which adds about $5.00 so you lose $5.00.

It is bad enough when the customer enters the wrong ship to address and UPS charges a $8.00 fee for an address correction.

Had one yesterday:

156 Maple Ave changed to 1565 Maple Ave that cost $8.00!!!!

Re: residential or business address?

the thing is that I do a table rate for shipping. I just need to know when I ship something out UPS.
