Shipping quotes

Post by kastnerd » Tue Nov 11, 2008 8:09 am

What dose stock able commerce do for shipping quotes?
Looking to get quotes from UPS, USPS, and FedEx.

What about package size?

What about multiple packages with size?

Is is possible to have 1 product ship in 2 boxes? Or 10 products ship in 2 boxes?

Dose able pull negotiated rates from UPS and Fedex?

Ok Thanks there is allot of info in the User guide that is helpful.

Im not sure on multiple boxes tho.
Is someone orders 50 items what controls how many boxes it uses to quote shipping. It wont be correct if its 1 box at 100lbs. But 10 boxes at 10 would be more correct.

How is the current items dimensions calculated.
For Air shipments its vary important to have dimensions.
a 5lbs box that is 25x25x5 is vary large for air shipment. But cheep if shipped ground.
