Selecting UPS lets you provide your Quick Shopping Cart customers with shipping options using the UPS OnLine® Tools service. You must register to use this service, however, you do not need to actually establish an account. If you have an existing account or would like to take advantage of the UPS OnLine Tools service, you can do so in the registration process. You can select this option and other options.

Rates are determined by weight, with a minimum weight of 0.1 pounds. If the weight is less than the minimum, then the shipping charge is calculated using the minimum weight.
