  • FIRST CLASS
  • PRIORITY
  • PRIORITY COMMERCIAL
  • EXPRESS
  • EXPRESS SH
  • EXPRESS HFP
  • EXPRESS COMMERCIAL
  • EXPRESS SH COMMERCIAL
  • EXPRESS HFP COMMERCIAL
  • PARCEL POST

Method Detail

getQuote

public ShippingQuote getQuote(Order order,
                              ShippingInfo info)
                       throws java.lang.Exception

We get a quote from USPS. If we only get one quote back then we return a ShippingQuote object with the details of the quote. If we get back more than one quote then we create an array of ShippingQuote objects and attach them to the ShippingQuote object that we return. In this case all of the quotes must be in the array since the quote itself isn't processed. It becomes more complex when we have the shipment split into a number of packages. The split is done by the manager calling this method and is presented to us in an orderWeightList. For each item in the list, we call USPS and get back one or more quotes. We then have to add up the quotes and return them as single quotes that can be displayed on the screen.
