Big $$$ being pulled in for USPS and UPS

We have accounts set up with both UPS and USPS. For instance, an item that weighs less than 0.7 oz this is the shipping rates:

United Parcel Service (3.19lbs) United Parcel Service
$109.33
Next Day Air Early AM
$75.54
Next Day Air
$69.05
Next Day Air Saver
$43.00
2nd Day Air AM
$37.06
2nd Day Air
$27.09
3 Day Select
$12.77
Ground
United States Postal Service (3.19lbs) United States Postal Service
$11.57
Parcel Post (4 - 7 days)
Zone Rates
$10.50
Shipping to US (3.19lb(s))

Also, UPS wrote to me and said: For rate requests, your shopping cart should be point to the following URL: https://onlinetools.ups.com/ups.app/xml/Rate

Any help appreciated. Thank you! :smile:

Check your Tare Rates in the Configuration ... Shipping/Packaging ... and most likely you need to set both of the Tare Rates to 0:0 ...

It did fix both, thank you! I went on to UPS and did a "check time and cost," and jeez, their rates did go up!

Re: Big $$$ being pulled in for USPS and UPS

I just checked as well and am stunned at how high the rates are! I thought I had my settings wrong.
