Studies have shown that more than 70% of ecommerce sales are abandoned by users at the checkout stage when they are presented with shipping charges for the items. Lack of real time knowledge of shipping rates puts web site developers in a situation where they have to use arbitrary rates based on some arbitrary business rules. This causes a frustrating experience for your site users and ultimately your business has to suffer because of dropping sales.

ShippingCalc.Net makes it simple for you to calculate these shipping rates in real time so that you can present these rates to your users in shopping carts or for that matter for any other use. ShippingCalc.Net is a .Net API implemented based on the specifications supplied by the shipping carriers like United States Postal Service (USPS), Federal Express (FedEx), United Parcel Service (UPS), DHL Worldwide Express (DHL), Airborne Express (Airborne) etc. The API returns the results in raw XML format as well as objects implemented in a highly optimized object oriented model.
