NetSuite UPS Rate Calculation
NetSuite considers the following factors when calculating UPS shipping rates:
-
Whether the package is picked up during regular daily UPS pickup.
-
Whether the packaging material is provided by the shipper.
-
Whether the destination is a commercial destination. Residential rates are higher in some delivery areas.
-
Whether multiple products are placed in one package. The weight of the package may be less than the estimated rate submitted due to weight rounding.
-
Whether rates are determined by product weight only. Packages may incur additional UPS fees for dimensions or added services, such as Saturday delivery.
Weight and size limits apply to UPS domestic air and ground packages. The maximum combined length and girth is 130 inches. Girth is the distance around the package at its widest point, perpendicular to its length. The maximum package length is 108 inches.
