Shipping Woes

[Wade Wilson]

Greets,

Just stumbled on this awesome forum for some much needed advice! I have an online comic book store that is going live in a few weeks. I have managed to get everything up and running except for the shipping methods.

The problem is, I have no clue what I am doing here. I have scoured the web for information and I'm probably looking in all the wrong places. I plan on shipping all over the world so I wonder if I should stick solely with UPS/Fedex and forget about USPS? Also can't figure out how to get shipping options on my site. I've been messing with these development and production tools all day and I'm no closer to figuring out what I'm doing than when I started.

I'm also pretty naive about shipping costs.

Sorry to just dump this all out there, but this is the last step in getting everything set up so I'm excited/frustrated all at once!

If you're going to use FedEx you'll need an account and FedEx can guide you as to how to integrate into your site. To be of further help I'll need to know how your site is set up and coded. If you are using a shopping cart system they all will have shipping modules including fedEx, USPS and others that can calculate shipping costs in real time as long as you have accounts.
