Dear Forum Members,

Some of the items in our store does not fit into any of the given shipping providers (UPS, FedEx, USPS). So I thought of implementing my own logic for those specific products. So at any point of time customer order could have items sipping calculated from UPS and our own (combined). We will flag all our custom shipping products as "over size" as will calculate shipping for that. At the same time UPS also calculating shipping charges for those "over size" marked items. I would like to pass only regular items to UPS and over sized items to our custom service. Can you please suggest me how Can I pass only normal items to UPS service.

Your help in this regard is appreciated.

Thank you,

Srini.

You will have to dig into shiprates.asp and understand the inner workings of that script. Once you make your changes, then it's just a matter of testing. Beyond that, I'm uncertain that we can really guide you at a deeper level as the complexity of this planned mod is very high. Good luck.
