Was this information Helpful?

I've been searching the forums and haven't found anything on this specifically. I have UPS Standard shipping setup and receive quotes just fine on the Ubercart shopping cart. Only problem is when I run the same shipping quote info on the UPS website its never accurate to the quote I receive on my Ubercart shopping cart. Shouldn't these numbers be the same? Is it even possible? Would appreciate any suggestions.

Re: UPS shipping quote accuracy

Search for "package quantity", or maybe "pkg qty". That's the usual culprit.

Re: Re: Re: UPS shipping quote accuracy

Well the culprit in this case was not the Ubercart settings. I was getting quotes from ups.com Create a Shipment while logged into my clients UPS account. What I did was log out and ran a quote under Calculate Time and Cost. After that all quotes were right on the money. Lesson learned, consult with client to see if they have special rates. Me personally I only needed it for a standard shipping quote. Hope this helps.
