Stop Guessing. Start Controlling Your UPS Shipping Costs.
Display estimated delivery time
Don’t leave your customers guessing. Uncertainty about delivery dates is a major driver of cart abandonment in modern e-commerce. With UPS Live Rates PRO, you don’t just show a shipping price; you provide a clear promise. By pulling real-time data, your customers see exactly when their package will arrive before they even click “buy”.
Advanced Scheduling Features:
- Estimated Delivery Dates: Real-time delivery estimates fetched directly from the UPS API.
- Lead Time Management: Factor in your internal processing time for every order.
- Daily Cutoff Times: Automatically shift estimates after your daily shipping deadline.
- Blackout Lead Days: Exclude weekends or holidays from your shipping schedule.
- Maximum Time in Transit: Show only methods that meet your delivery speed requirements.
Automatic box packing
Standard shipping plugins only see weight, which is a recipe for losing money on bulky items. UPS Live Rates PRO uses a sophisticated volume-based algorithm that virtually “packs” your products to find the most cost-effective shipping method in real-time. It’s like having a virtual warehouse manager who optimizes every shipment for you to protect your margins.
- Precision 3D Packing: Calculate shipping costs based on dimensions, not just weight.
- Custom Boxes & Padding: Define your own packaging and padding for 100% rate accuracy.
- Optimized Volume Logic: Packs largest items first to maximize space and lower costs.
- Reliable Multi-package Support: Automatically splits large orders into multiple boxes when needed.
- Smart Fallback Rates: Keeps your checkout functional with reliable backup rates.
Handling Fees & Discounts
Every box, roll of tape, and minute of your warehouse staff’s time costs you money. If you don’t account for these, you are losing your margin on every order. Use UPS Live Rates PRO to automate your handling fees and ensure your shipping process is always profitable, not just a “cost of doing business.”
- Fixed Handling Fees: Add a flat fee to cover packaging and labor costs.
- Percentage Surcharges: Scale fees based on shipping price to protect margins.
- Strategic Discounts: Use fixed or percentage discounts to boost conversion.
- Total Rate Control: Adjust UPS services to stay competitive and profitable.

We were trying to find the fine line between keeping our customers happy with shipping prices and not losing so much money in doing so. Their shipping plugins bridged the gap and allowed us to give accurate shipping and reward customers for spending more money by offering them lower shipping or even free shipping. Their customer support is where they shine, as they are very thorough and quick to reply back. If you have any WooCommerce shipping issues to be addressed, be sure to check their plugins.

wordpress.orgI’ve been using this plugin for a few weeks now, and I absolutely enjoy it! I found it as part of my search for something that will enable me to manage the delivery and shipment options beyond the standard ones. Flexible Shipping has reached this goal and far beyond that! It solves so many little problems and limitations that the default system has, and is very simple to manage.

wordpress.orgFrom Pre-Sales to Set-up the information provided was clear. The “Happiness Engineer” who guided me was extremely helpful and patient with the set-up process and my questions. I am so grateful to have the capabilities to adjust shipping and reduce loss of revenue for my clients!

wordpress.orgThis shipping plugin allows very complex rules for shipping. Worked perfectly for my case. The plugin is free and the support is amazing. The compatibility with other leading WooCommerce plugins is also fantastic. Highly recommend.
