UPS has some tools for API Integration. I haven't used it, just know
it's there.

I've looked at this and what I could find from UPS and USPS (let alone
FedEx, etc.) was not friendly at all. With UPS there are exceptions and
additions (e.g., fuel surcharges) and --- it was just not worth the
effort. If someone finds something different I'd like to hear about it.

Frankly, if you have a high speed connections and a scale (and the scale
we use now can download stuff from USPS) it's just as simple to weigh
it, log on to your carrier - whichever one that might be - and pay the
postage online and print out a shipping label. That's what you have to
do for UPS, anyway, even if you carry it in to one of their shipping
points.

We don't use a fancy label printer; just print it on plain paper, cut it
on the line and put it on the package. Not a glorious solution if you
have a high volume - just depends on what you want to spend on a
solution.

Paid shipping labels save us a ton of time at the post office and UPS
lobby.
