I wanted to see if someone would be willing to help me through some logic for determining when an address is going to an APO.Here are some details about the site:- The server is running 5.2 code, but the catalog was originally built on 4.8 and has been upgraded along the way to include some of the 5.2 features. - The site is only using the "Express Checkout" type of checkout - no multi-page at the clients request. - The only method of shipping for the store is UPS, so defaulting to another method is not an option.The UPS lookup is returning $0 because it can't find the zip code in the database. There are promotions where $0 shipping would occur, so checking the value of shipping would have to include parsing the cart and verifying it against a promotion table to see if the item is valid for free shipping. I was hoping to find a simpler solution than this if possible.I suppose in the profile.order I could parse for "apo" across certain fields (such as the PO Box check for COD). However, since the actual shipping check is made against the ZIP code, I was wondering if there was a better way to check against APO type zip codes.Does anyone have recommendations for this type of situation?

Gary,I wrote a Perl module that includes the Interchange tag for UPS Online Tools XML interface. I know it handles US, Canadian and International shipping like a charm. I havn't tested it with APO addressess. My guess is if you can go to the UPS web site and get reliable rates, the module should return the same rates. I have several clients using it on production sites.
