DHL Shipping

[Greg Thompson]

Hello,

I am new to this whole environment and just had a question about UPS vs. DHL when I was looking over a phpshop demo site.

I saw something in there that suggested some kind of integration of the shop with UPS and having an account with UPS was required. Personally, I use DHL and have a DHL account. My question basically revolves around:
1. What are these benefits of apparent integration with UPS, exactly? (what does it DO?)
2. Can I use my existing DHL account for my shipping just as effectively?
3. What configuration/module installation needs to be done to handle DHL? Has anyone even written for DHL integration of some kind? If so, what does it do and where can I get it?

I am sure by now you get the general gist of what I am trying to ask so please let me know the answers to the relevant questions and any other supplemental information that would naturally be needed.

Thanks.

Hello,

1. the current UPS Shipping Module just fetches Shipping Rates for Checkout purposes. No order details will be sent to UPS. Shipping must be handled manually.
2. Hmm, not sure.
3. DHL is one thing on the To-Do-List. Everyone is invited to implement it.

ciao, Soeren
