    Go to the appconfig and search 'RTShipping.UPS', make sure to populate those parameters you've seen there (Image 1). Also, don't forget to populate the store's origin values by searching 'Origin' in the appconfig (Image 2).

    Did that... You should also mention that even thou i have a UPS and FedEx account numbers I needed a username, password, and a URL link for the "RTShipping.fedex.server.... As for UPS, they have not yet sent the info yet. FedEx was able to give me a user name, password and the URL. But it still does not return calculated rates. I did notice that FedEx does not have a RTShipping.fedex.username like UPS Does...

    What's needed by fedex is just the Account Number and Meter, so that should be Ok. Could you turn on appconfig: RTShipping.DumpXmlOnCartPage to true and go to CheckoutShipping.aspx, at the bottom of that page you should be able to see the RTShipping Request and Result... Let us know what's in the result box.

    There should be an XML result box at the bottom of the page whenever the AppConfig: RTShipping.DumpXmlOnCartPage is set to true. Please also make sure that the Active Shipping Calculation method is set to Real Time. By the way, could you please tell us what version you're on?

    From your appconfig: RTShipping.OriginState parameter, you should only enter the abbreviation equivalent of South Dakota which is SD and you'll be fine. If any error persists, please submit a ticket to support and will take a look there.

    Send a ticket to support and will see what's going on. This is just a configuration problem which we need to look at.
