Q: 

Shipping application required

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a good FREE shipping application where I can get rates from different courier services, and perform tracking of packages.

If there aren't any free ones, do the courier services themselves have API's or webservices of their own? We were thinking of creating an ASP.NET web application in C# that got quotes from FedEx, Purolator, and Canada Post for a specified package.

Any help/suggestions are welcome

Thank you

I'm not familiar with any service aggregator but the major companies all have APIs that you can call. e.g. Purolator E-Ship Web Services.

For Canada Post they have something called SellOnline. It looks like it's a few years old and is more of an XML post rather than a SOAP web service.

Fed Ex web services can be found at http://www.fedex.com/ca_english/businesstools/webservices/index.html.

Thanks for the link. I can't seem to find anything for Canada Post though...
