We are using the WorldShip program here and I have implemented a simple CF application that sort of interfaces with it.
Here is a brief overview of what I do: 1) Basically staff in our building fill out my (our) online Courier request form - generic no mention of shipper. 2) All data relating to the shipment is recorded in our Corporate database. 3) The end-user will bring down their package, along with my printed receipt (internal tracking number - aka autonumber in database) to the mailroom 4) At the end of the day, they mailroom staff will process all shipping request, thru my admin module. This module basically creates a CSV file of all the shipments for that day. The file is saved to a diskette (CSV file) and then imported into the UPS WorldShip terminal. Labels are then printed based off of the CSV file. In return the UPS terminal will generate a csv file containing the UPS tracking number and our internal tracking. This is them fed back into my CF application. So basically I have UPS tracking number and our internal tracking number stored and can easily handling the billing later. This whole process is based of the old sneaker network of walking a floppy from one terminal to another but it works great. I am looking to implement the Ship API to allow users at our field offices (without a dedicated mailroom) to print labels at their desk. The plan is removed the use of pre-printed shipping manifest. This is the part that I am lost on. I would to get this part working but all I seem to get back is java code and I do not actually receive a print-able label. If you want more info, please let me know.

Just using worldship's desktop application. It sucks because I can't even find where you can COPY the tracking number! Maybe I'm just missing it? I looked around tho.
