Today I added a new backwards-compatible feature to the UPS shipper module.

In short, if you go to your site settings and check the "Time In Transit"
option, instead of the default times we've been assuming so far, i.e. 3-5
days for Ground shipping, you'll get UPS' actual estimates for shipping from
your zipcode to theirs.  Not a range, it should be the actual number of
business days.

It won't work for countries that don't have postal codes, but in that case
should fall-back to the old defaults.  A little effort by someone else would
easily enhance it to handle those cases.

This option is not enabled by default, for backward-compatibility reasons,
but I think most stores would want to use the new, enhanced estimated
delivery times.

UPS' APIs are annoying, they make you jump through too many hoops, and
there's really no excuse for some of them, but ... it works and my client is
happy.  I hope you are too.

This feature was sponsored by my client http://elenis.com.  They're a great
cookie company, especially if you live in New York City.
