Real-Time Shipping Methods
CoreCommerce supports all of the major shipping providers, along with off-line methods. You can use UPS, USPS, FedEx, DHL, Canada Post or Australia Post for real-time shipping calculations using product weights, including size dimensions.
In addition to providing real-time rates for your customers, with UPS, FedEx and USPS your customers will receive real-time order tracking on your site without having to go to UPS, FedEx or USPS web site. You can also choose to add your own custom padding to any real-time rate quote or even choose how much weight you want to fit into each box for more accurate real-time shipping. Real-time rates also supports multiple warehouses so you can ship products from multiple zip codes and calculate rates for each product tied to each vendor's warehouse.
