Re: [ic] Shipping to APO boxes



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.

You can download it at http://search.cpan.org/~downhom/Business-Shipping-UPS_XML-0.07/lib/Business/Shipping/UPS_XML.pm

Thanks for the info, I will check it out.

As far as I can tell, UPS actually doesn't ship to APO addresses so I think the problem would still exist. The problem I am trying to trap/intercept is detecting when an APO address is entered so I can stop the transaction. As it is now, UPS just returns a $0 shipping amount. The problem is that on certain items a $0 amount is ok, so I can't just do a simple check.

However, I think with the info that Greg provided earlier, I should be able to do a regex on the zip code ranges and get the info I need.

I appreciate the feedback though.
-Gary
