Use ASP to Get shipping rates from UPS.

This will get the rates from UPS and put them into a dropdown box. You do need to sign up with UPS and get an access key and probably a developers key.

http://www.ups.com/content/us/en/bussol/offering/technology/automated_shipping/online_tools.html

Of course change Access number, User ID & Password with your own. Please note I put any dims into a separate page. In this I have also included a method to pull a specific dollar amount for handling charges (strChosen) substitute the sql below for it and jut put strChosen=1, 2, whatever value you want.

Define both elements below.

strCompanyPostCode = whatever zip code you are sending from
orderWeight = the total weight of the package.

Good luck :)

Code:
<% 'create XML to send to UPS to gather rates
strXML= "<?xml version='1.0'?><AccessRequest xml:lang='en-US'><AccessLicenseNumber>xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx</AccessLicenseNumber><UserId>xxxxxxxxxx</UserId><Password>xxxxxxxxxxxx</Password></AccessRequest>"
