Default Re: Has anyone installed shippingkit UPS Ship?

X-Cart will have UPS WorldShip integration (or at least export/import) soon (so I've been told) so there is no need to pay a 3rd party - especially a 3rd party that is on x-cart's ban list. ShippingKit must have really pissed them off...

I have been using WorldShip w/ "Quantum View" and we're NOT bringing tracking info back into xcart for now... customers get their tracking info from UPS, not us. Hopefully, that will change soon, when xcart integrates a worldship export/import. We'll still use Worldship, but we'll simply export a batch, bring it into Worldship, print labels, print end of day, export from worldship, import into xcart, send confirmation emails to cusotmers. Sounds like more work (a little) but it avoids data entry errors or copy/paste madness. AND - we get to control the customer relationship, not UPS. I have detailed my ideas for what would make a better UPS WorldShip integration elsewhere... and in private to xcart. They asked me to send them some sample files -- I would imagine that we'll see this eventually... i have no idea about their timeline... but maybe, someday?
