Hrrm,

You couldn't put it in checkout without a lot of work (and even then I'm not sure if it wouldn't require a rewrite of the UPS module) BUT you could collect it on signup or via a text field in the product display and then hand do the shipping.

That would require notification for all involved but might work?

How about a custom text on the shipping rates page of checkout, telling the customer to add their UPS account info in the comments box, with a special zone or table rate for free shipping, but named as "Customer's courier to collect"?

Wouldn't that effectively do the same thing, but in a more structured and formal method? (i.e. one that shows up on the invoice and states what the customer has selected to do ;) thus preventing arguments later).

Actually, there is already a contribution "Bill Recipient/Third Party Account" made for this purposes. The only thing that is missing is that it doesn't provide an input field to enter the account # when selected. I'm looking for a way to add a new input field when this shipping method is selected and make it required. Can somebody help?

Thank you.
