This is VERY frustrating! I've tried several other commerce programs, hated them all, then found OS-Commerce and I love it . . .
 
. . . EXCEPT for one little problem. Shipping. EVERY order has had a shipping screwup, and everything I try makes it worse.
 
The UPS Module I have is beta, and it has never worked for me at all. Flat rates, table rates, etc., don't cut it.
 
Here's what I want to do: My site sells car stereo products, most of which are drop shipped from the factory. The criteria is this: very small parts, USPS Priority Mail. All other products, UPS for the 48 states, USPS Priority Mail for Alaska, Hawaii, and international. Sound familiar? Sound like what MOST merchants would want to do?
 
I cannot find a suitable means of calculating shipping. EVERY online store has shipping; I can't believe OS-Commerce can't handle it. Is there a WORKING UPS module out there? Is there a Table Rate, or individual rate, that applies only to domestic shipping and not international? I never DREAMED that shipping modules would be this impossible. How do OTHERS do it? Suggestions?
