I forgot to mention who I use right now. I use a variety of LTL freight companies. Some of them include Overnite, Roadway, Yellow, Old Dominion, Averett, FedEx Freight, Estes, and R & L.

Sorry, have not checked the forum in a month (end of school kept me busy). I will give a more detailed explanation. I will use N to represent some variable number. Whenever I obtain a freight quote over the phone, I tell them I have NNNN Lbs. of class NN goods on NN pallets. The origin zip is NNNNN and the destination zip is NNNNN. My account number is NNNNNNN or my freight discount is NN%. Assume "no" on extra costs (HAZMAT, Residential delivery, liftgate, shedule deliver, COD, etc., etc.). The freight companies give me a exact cost (to the penny), a freight quote ID number, and an expiration date of the quote (usually one week). So I just want a module that does all this automatically. Freightquote.com has a good web-based interface that will show what kind of information we need. Determining the exact number of skids necessary is tough, but this module would be great for all orders that fit on exactly one skid. That would be the place to start.

I have had lots of problems with this module, but the weird thing is this: When you add products to your shopping cart, the subtotal might be wrong. But if you continue to checkout, the last confirmation screen gives you correct subtotals.

Sounds like something is being rounded up or down. My guess is the 8.50 figure b/c it is an error in the amount of $0.50. Try using the tep_round() function, which is included with osCommerce. To round to two decimal places, do this: (assume your current output = $unrounded_variable) $rounded_variable = tep_round($unrounded_variable, 2);

I was hoping somebody has osCommerce setup to sell goods out of a warehouse that are too big to ship UPS. Like full pallets of goods, or even full truckloads. I would like to see a shipping module that obtains freight quotes for LTL (less than load) shipments. To do this, one additional product attribute would have to be added so we can set the freight class. Additionally, it would be nice to have a module that determines a piece count. Yellow Trucking company has API's that might do this. Freightquote.com has PHP API's, but they want $1,000 to let you use them. What other alternatives are there? So much of the inventory I have is not on the web b/c I cannot set it up for shipping. Only a small percentage of goods small enough for UPS are on my site.

There are four lines that need to be commented out. This means they will not be read or parsed by your web server. They are lines 918,919,920, and 921: $faqdesk_image = tep_get_uploaded_file('faqdesk_image'); $faqdesk_image = tep_get_uploaded_file('faqdesk_image_two'); $faqdesk_image = tep_get_uploaded_file('faqdesk_image_three'); $image_directory = tep_get_local_path(DIR_FS_CATALOG_IMAGES); It looks like the code that folllows which is credited to Peter is a rewrite of these four lines.

I am happy to see that this is working. I am about to install and see if I can get it working. I have a question, though. I had the other UPS XML tracking module installed and it worked great until about 2 Saturdays ago when UPS altered its XML response. They removed the spacing and line breaks from the XML reply. This made the module for OScommerce quit functioning. Did you do something to change the way the module parses the XML response from UPS?

The Saturday before last, UPS changed the XML replies for XML-based package tracking requests. Apparantly, there is not longer any formatting in the XML response. I use the contribution for UPS XML tracking and it is no longer functional. Anyone know how to rewrite the parser for the XML response?
