UPS

Additional Information

To be able to use UPS shipping services you should also take into account the following:

• Connection to the UPS test environment does not return the customer specific rates in the shipping cost responds. When you send a Web service request to the test environment, it returns the published rate less than 1%, so the developer can see that the negotiated rate tag is effective. The actual negotiated shipping rates are returned only when you are connected to the UPS production environment.
• • Web service URL of the UPS test environment: https://wwwcie.ups.com/webservices/Rate
  • Web service URL of the UPS production environment: https://onlinetools.ups.com/webservices/Rate
• Physical dimensions should be set up for the products in your ERP system and should not exceed the following values:
• • Packages can be up to 150 lbs (70 kg).
  • Packages can be up to 165 inches (419 cm) in length and girth combined.
  • Packages can be up to 108 inches (270 cm) in length.

         For more information, see "UPS Weight and Size".

• UPS shipping provider adds an extra inch to each side of a product. This is a recommendation from UPS and it is necessary to wrap a product and prevent it from damaging during delivery.
  For example, there is a product with the following dimensions:
  
  • Width = 8 inches
  • Length = 8 inches
  • Height = 16 inches
  Assume that there are 8 products which should be packed into one package. Each product has the dimensions mentioned above. Since an extra inch is added to each side of a product, as a result the bigger package will be used to store all 8 products. Check the scheme below.
