Description:
* FOR SHIPPING COST INFO:
This module requires input of the shipping method, origin zip code,
destination zip code, and weight of the package. It then connects to
the UPS calculation server and outputs the total shipping charges and
the UPS zone.
It's a very simplified way of finding shipping costs based on the "Quick
Cost Calculator" document found on the UPS Website at
http://www.ups.com/tools/tools.html
* FOR TRACKING PACKAGES:
It's an interface to submit a tracking number to the UPS web site
and parse the output and return a hash with the appropriate values.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
NOTICE: U.P.S. _REQUIRES_ the display of the "Notice" key if the
hash returned when displaying UPS tracking information.
It is as follows:
-------------------------
"UPS authorizes you to use UPS tracking systems solely to track
shipments tendered by or for you to UPS for delivery and for
no other purpose. Any other use of UPS tracking systems and
information is strictly prohibited."
