I've looked at a few UPS bills since this was discussed in Jira. It seems that UPS is going to make the adjustment to the bill based on their information regardless of what we put. That said, would it be better to get the information on whether it is a commercial or residential address from UPS's address validation service prior to getting the rate and storing that information in the cart?
The only downside I see in this approach is the amount of time it may take to get a response from UPS. --- Tim Ruppert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > What does everyone else think?
