table rates on front end – but USPS rates on backend – possible ?

    is the following possible?

    1. on the front end, I want to offer a few simple shipping options by geozone like this:

    a) up to $24.99 order value to Lower 48 States, shipping is $2.95

    b) at $25 or above to Lower 48 States, free shipping

    c) to other US areas (Alaska, Hawaii, territories), by zip code and weight

    2. on the back end, though, I want to optimize USPS shipping for each order. what I mean is that one order might be optimized for Regional Box B, but another order might go First Class Parcel, but I won’t know until I put the final order together

    in other words, can I present a simple set of non-live shipping options up front, but then use the usps lookups on the back end to optimize my final shipping, print labels, etc? (and include tracking with outgoing emails to customers)

    this would be a dream come true if possible

    thanks

  • Hi,

    1.a & b) The first option is not possible to achieve with our plugin, you might want to use the shipping pro table rates plugin for that.

    C) Yes you can use our plugin to calculate rates based on weight and zip.

    2. Yes you can use the plugin to print labels and get tracking with the USPS live rates based on the package details and destination address,
    But you need to use the premium plugin for this, also you need to contact USPS team if you’re eligible for USPS eVS account for print label and tracking permission.

    Regards,
