Advanced Parcel Packing Logic
Accuracy in shipping costs starts with how items are packed. This extension provides multiple parcel packing methods to ensure the rates you quote are correct:
- Pack Items Individually: Calculates shipping by treating each item in the cart as its own individual package.
- Pack into Boxes: Utilize the built-in box-packer to define your standard box sizes and weights. The extension will intelligently calculate the optimal way to fit items into these boxes to get the most accurate rate from UPS.
- Weight-Based Packing: A simpler method that calculates the rate based on the total weight of all items in the order.
Customize Rates and Service Display
Tailor the shipping options to fit your business strategy. You can easily adjust the live rates returned by UPS by adding a positive (for handling fees) or negative (for discounts) amount, either as a fixed value or a percentage. You can also customize the names of the shipping services displayed to customers for maximum clarity.
Support for UPS Negotiated Rates
If your business has negotiated special discounted rates with UPS, you can easily pass these savings on to your customers. Simply enable the “Negotiated Rates” option in the settings to have these rates displayed at checkout, offering a powerful competitive advantage.
Smart Address Detection
The extension can automatically detect whether a customer’s shipping address is residential or commercial. Since UPS often has different pricing for these two address types, this feature ensures that the rate provided is always the most accurate one possible.
