Okay, I'm still green on this, and if there's a "OS-COMMERCE For Dummies" book out there I'll be happy to buy it.

Overall I've tried several e-commerce programs, and settled on OS-Commerce mainly because I've been able to figure things out on my own, for the most part, and it appears relatively easy to navigate and set up.

But now I'm in a dilemma! I've only posted about a quarter of the products on my site so far, with lots of installation to go, and somehow I've got links already -- as I've had no less than FOUR orders this past week! Uh, hey guys, not open yet -- oh well, I'll process your order.

The problem is with shipping. Right now the products are defaulting to Table Rate, and a customer was just charged $8.50 to ship a huge box to Germany!!!! Whoops! Should be closer to $200.

In any case, I see by perusing other threads that there is a UPS Module that can be installed. Do I get this from you, or do I need to contact UPS? How do I install it?

Also, is there a way to set up certain products so that UPS is applied to domestic orders and USPS is used for foreign? This is how the lion's share of my products are shipped. Please advise.

Look in the add-ons section see link at top of the page.

Zones also allows you to split world into shipping zones and charge each one different rates by wt.
