  • Specify the maximum package weight. For example, if you set the maximum package weight to 25 lbs, and a customer orders six 5 lb. items (30 lbs. total), two 15 pound packages will be calculated by UPS, U.S. Postal Service, or using your own calculations.
  • Set any item to be calculated individually by adding dimensions on that item. Dimensions will be transmitted to UPS or U.S. Postal Service, returning the shipping rate for an oversize package if applicable.

  • Choose whether to allow your customers to choose a different shipping method for each individual package, or choose a single shipping method for the entire order.
  • Set your own "per item" rates, either individually or across the board.
  • Handling charges may be applied to entire order or to each package in shipment. An additional handling charge may be set on any country.
  • Allow shipping To billing address only or to any address.
  • Notify customers of order shipment, including tracking number with link to shipper's website (or to your own branded UPS tracking page if using UPS Online XML Tools) if desired.
  • Electronic Delivery. Items available immediate for downlaod on order approval if using real-time processing. Otherwise, you must manually approve the order to allow items to be downloaded.

  Any combination of the first 6 items (marked with *) may be used for any country, for Alaska and Hawaii and for APO/FPO (except UPS which does not ship to APO/FPO addresses. For example, you may use UPS Online® Tools to calculate shipping within the contiguous US, use U.S. Postal Service Web Tools to calculate shipping to APO/FPO addresses (and add a $10.00 handling charge for the additional paperwork), set your own rates for orders to Alaska and Hawaii, set a flat "per order" rate for shipments to Canada and Mexico and calculate shipping based on order total to all other countries.
