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
4- Ask USPS about min/ max weights for each service
