Accurate Shipping Costs

Well, I have finally gotten around to using UPS's Rate WebService. So now manuals will have a more accurate shipping cost. Before, I just had to prices for shipping dependent on the Page Count. Now we figure out the weight and dimensions dynamically and send it to UPS's Rate Service.

Once I figured out the messaging part and got signed up for the Access Key from UPS. Integrating it with my pricing object was pretty easy. I did build it in ColdFusion, so if any one wants the code to connect to UPS and get Rates just let me know.
