Hi,
I was looking to get a plugin or something to calculate shipping information from either fedex or ups. I have looked at active shipping, the shipping gem and MightyInteractive fedex plugin.
What are people doing in regards to shipping? The plugins/gems I have tested are all outdated...
That's what I found, too, when I looked about six months ago. I ended up just mocking up some XML requests for UPS. You can search this forum and find my previous post which includes the code that I used. We then switched to using FedEx, and I did the same. The documentation for using XML with FedEx is terrible (they much prefer SOAP, but it was overkill for my application), so feel free to contact me outside of here to get some code. All I'm doing is making a rate request and parsing the response.
