Ditto. This is the same way we do it (other than we do the export after each shipment). I have worked with UPS now for two different companies to get an interface with their software. They worked very well with me and helped me accomplish my goals.
Only side note I have to add, is I ended up learning a lot more about WorldShip than I thought I would have to know. This is, in part, due to I am very particular and really wanted all the bells and whistles working, so I kept on asking questions and getting further details, both from UPS and my warehouses. My warehouses don't know what to do with themselves now! Basic sends everything World ship needs to it (via odbc)! The only thing the warehouses have to watch out for is on collect shipments, where the freight is taxable, they need to add the tax amount for freight charges accordingly. As well as the residential/commercial factor. While that is stored in Basic.. it is something they seem to struggle with keeping accurate and we still get hit with the charges for sending commercial.. when it really is residential. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of George Gallen Sent: Thursday, October 27, 2005 12:14 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [U2][UV] UPS rate calculator I have found UPS tech support quite knowledgable in their software and integrating it with other software. We interface with World Ship using csv import/export tables and let the software do all the work, it imports the name and address and then exports the tracking numbers and amounts. We are not using it however, for real-time rates, we batch export at the end of the day.
