    Default RealTime Shipping: UPS Letter Rates?

    To all Realtime Shipping gurus,

    My company wants to save money by using UPS Letter Rates (rather than Package Rates) on some very small products like giftcards. So my question is: does the UPS Realtime Web Service support requesting Letter rates rather than Package rates somehow? Does anyone know where I can find documentation on the XML request format so I can analyze it and find out?

    Thanks!

    The following are the classes that you need to check:
    • RTShipping.cs
    • UPS2.cs


    They are under the AspDotNetStorefrontCore project...

    Thanks, Jao - I'm familiar with the areas of the code that create the request and process the response from UPS. What I need to know is whether StoreFront can request Letter rates instead of Package rates by changing the contents of the XML request somehow.

    Looks like you'll need to change the <PackagingType> code in the UPSGetRates method, but you'll have to take a look the UPS documentation for this to make sure.
