Re: What do these UPS codes mean?

They are the service types offered by UPS.

ie: GND = Ground, 1DA = Next Day Air, 2DA = 2nd Day Air, etc.

You can find the details of the types of services offered by UPS on the UPS website: http://www.ups.com/content/us/en/shipping/time/service/index.html

Re: What do these UPS codes mean?

Thank you so much for your quick reply. I really appreciate it. I will attempt to map the information from the UPS link you provided to the codes in ZenCart. I may have more questions. Is there a reference table somewhere?

Re: What do these UPS codes mean?

Those codes come directly from the UPS system.
Therefore those are good questions to ask your UPS account representative to explain for you.
