Hi - I've browsed around here, (and the net), and I've been looking for something that I can set up a store on my drop shipping website so that it can all be handled by UPS.

I have been bamboozled with the number of stand-alone bits of software, or UPS integrated tools as part of various website building wesbites, that there are out "there".

So, I'd thought I'd come and ask for some advice and get any personal experiences that anyone may have had with either a stand-alone piece of software or a website builder where I can use UPS integarted shipping/packing.

Thank you for your help :)

Shipping tracking is done online for my US customers through my off-the-shelf website. I can tell by linking from my protected customer management system when and by whom the product is signed for by the customer.

I don't think that tracking necessarily increases sales, because the customer management system is so reliable that once product is purchased it is as good as delivered.

Anything *but* stand-alone, off-the-shelf software, is going to be too complicated.

Thanks for that SGG.

I'm not too fussed about the tracking part either, it just seems to be combined in with most things as a feature.

Is there any particular UPS integrated software you recommend?

Did you check out the WorldShip? That is what one of our clients uses for integration. I know the programmers were able to export data and import data into the WorldShip program

Did you actually check with UPS.com? Their online tools are all listed. Just need to have some programming savy and a UPS account, yeah?
