Last Year our company decided to offer UPS Surepost as a discreet shipping option before UPS got around to adding it as an option in their Rating API.
To work around this, and still give customers accurate shipping rates i ended up having to use WebShopApps MatrixRates extension to build a massive cumbersome csv file mapping destination zip code (generalized to the first 3 or 2 digits) to price.
This is not an ideal long term solution. To keep it up to date with UPS's rate and fuel surcharge changes requires a good deal of work every few months.
It looks like UPS has finally added surepost into their api.
Is Enterprise 1.13 able to display surepost rates without any additional custom development?
Best Answer
You should have got the UPS Zones extension, this allows you to enter zones rather than use zipcodes and has been used on many sites to implement SurePost. You can do in just a few lines.
EE1.13 doesnt implement SurePost, and I've not seen it mentioned in any UPS API.
