I have upgraded from RC4 and the shipping prices, both ups and usps, are astronomically high. I can't find any consistent difference other than a drastic increase in price. I have since gone back to RC4. Advice?
RC4 to 1.2 Shipping Prices Wrong
|

There was a bug in the UPS and USPS modules that caused them to only quote one product, even if the quantity was higher. Now that this has been fixed, it's probably assuming that you want to ship each of those products in a separate box. If that's not what you want to do, edit the package quantity field of your products to be something more realistic.
Everything with the quantity seems to be configured properly, all in one package. But when I go to 1.2, the prices increase by nearly ten-fold across the board.
The "package quantity field " is found on the product edit page for each of your products, e.g. node/#/edit. It's probably set to "1" right now, which means that 1 and only 1 of that product will fit in a box. So the shipping quotes are putting each and every item in a separate box, and summing the cost of all those boxes in the shipping quote.
If you can fit more than 1 of a product in a box, modify this package quantity field to something larger. I personally think the semantics are wrong here - this field actually means something quite different than most people assume, leading to a lot of confusion.
TR,
Thanks. Was this a change in version 1.2? The setting is the same in RC4 and it works fine. Is there anyway to change EVERY product to reflect a 10-25 item limit per box? I don't want to change 300 products manually.
Use phpMyAdmin and run the SQL UPDATE `uc_products` SET `pkg_qty` = 100 (choose your own number instead of 100, of course).
The price is still about $6-$8 more then it should be. We sell over 300,000 products and are currently test driving ubercart.. We love everything drupal and ubercart have to offer, but the shipping section is a bit confusing. We compare usps.com rates with the shipping rates with ubercart and it's always higher. The sames goes with UPS.
Anyone?
