  Real Time Shipping (UPS, USPS, Canada Post Payment, Fedex)

You cannot mix off line shipping and online shipping by default. Only one method can be used.

And you cannot mix UPS and USPS since your store has to connect with a remote server to get real time quotes and with 2 servers it will take a lot of time to retrieve quotes.

Note: you can request a customization if you need the ability to mix Real Time Quotation from different companies.

The shipping costs shown are dynamically calculated based on the total weight of the order and the shipping address provided by the customer. You have to verify that your address is correct since the quoting will be calculated taking your company address as the origin of the delivery.

USPS instructions:

1- USPS can be only used for US destinations at this time

2- Register at www.shippingapis.com and ask the switch to production server

3- Use pounds as weight unit for all the products
