Re: cfwebstore ups rates table

2007-10-23 Thread Matt Robertson
I just checked.  UPS no longer even provides ASCII data.  Its all pdf's
now.  They used to provide a form of ASCII that UPSR could clean up and use
as a fixed-length file.  No more.  You would have to hand-input every rate
item, and there are probably thousands of those.

The days of such independent tools are past; especially if the source dries
up.

Re: cfwebstore ups rates table

2007-10-23 Thread Matt Robertson
Dan, as I mentioned in my email to you earlier today you can use the
importation tools that are in the tag distribution, but as Mary Jo said
there is more to this than just importing the text files (assuming UPS still
even makes them available, and they are still in a usable format).

I dropped UPSR for a reason... UPS changed their rate structures enough from
year to year that tag maintenance just ate too much time, especially given
what they did in the 2005 rates.  I made the decision after many hours of
work getting myself up to that point... and I knew that I was likely in
store for more of the same the following year when UPS played the same game
all over again.  Thats going to be you if you go this route.  UPSR was a
great tag for the four years or so that I kept it updated, but UPS wants
very badly for you to use their own internal tools and your client will be a
lot happier if you don't swim against that current... and so will you,
frankly.

If you are desperate to fudge this you can add a blanket surcharge to the
rate calculation that will guesstimate the difference from the 2004 rates to
today... but this is not recommended.

The UPSRateMonger tag used in that version has been long since abandoned by its 
author, there's really no way to update it with current UPS rates. You might be 
able to import them with a bit of effort but they still wouldn't calculate 
properly without rewriting the tag as well. All current CFWebstore 
installations (v.5.x and higher) can use code that taps into the UPS API to 
retrieve rates instead.

cfwebstore ups rates table

2007-10-23 Thread Dan Vega
I am looking for anyone who has used the cfwebstore software before. I have
a client who is using a very old version (3.1) and needs to update the
shipping rates table. The tables are organized by service. For example there
is a next day air table called UPS_1da and has the following fields. I need
to find a way to update these rates for my client. Any help into this
problem would be great.
