Does this stop the checkout process altogether? Or is it just a warning?
It looks like you may have debug messages set to a higher level than normal (a PHP global setting).

Basically what is happening is that no rates have been returned, therefore not setting the variable $shipments, which in your case causes a notice to be displayed due to your PHP settings.

If you wanted, you could try changing the error reporting level via a error_reporting call.  You could put it somewhere at the top of the ups.php file
http://us.php.net/error_reporting


for example, around line 26:

Code Select Expand


...

* UPS OnLine(R) is a registered trademark of United Parcel Service of America.
*
*/

// Turn off all error reporting
error_reporting(0);
class ups {

...


This would turn off ALL error reporting.

Hope this helps,
Reggie

Also, check your php.ini file. This is where the global PHP error reporting setting resides.  Mine is currently:

error_reporting = E_ERROR
