UPSS Pro

Shipping things from one place to another costs money, and you can never be absolutely sure how much. UPSS Pro eliminates all the guesswork of shipping a package. It gives you precise calculations on the costs of shipping a package, based on its weight and dimensions, shipping rates in different areas, as well as other factors. It's an excellent choice if you want to send a package over a long distance, and it's an ideal solution if you run a packaging and shipping company.

The application comes in Lite and Pro versions, and a free, fully-functional trial is available. Regardless of what version you opt for, you won't have to wait for more than a minute to have the application up and running. Also, you don't have to meet any special hardware or software requirements.

The first thing you have to do when you launch the application is to specify your ZIP code. Once you do this, the application will give you access to its main user interface, on which you can specify everything about your package. If you type in the recipient's ZIP code, the application will immediately display the corresponding city, after which you can start typing its weight and dimensions, and specify how you want to deliver the package.

The package's dimensions can be specified manually, but you can also select one of several preset box, cylinder and envelope sizes. You can pick between various carriers, like UPS or FedEx, and you can also choose between various delivery methods, like "2nd day" or "Next day saver". Additionally, you can tick a few options to add a signature, to mark the package for special handling, and you can even mark it as "hazardous materials".

Each specification you make will affect the total shipping cost, which is displayed at all times on the same user interface. The price is updated instantly, regardless of what changes you make, so you can experiment with different carriers and shipping methods until you find a suitable price.

If you're satisfied with how everything looks, you can hit a shipping button. Obviously, this won't ship your physical package, but it does save your package's details so you can keep track of the shipment. What's more, the software can even assign tracking numbers to your packages. Another advantage is the fact that UPSS Pro gives you options for setting up your own custom carrier, which makes it an excellent solution for small and medium businesses.

Whether you want to send a package or run a packaging and shipping business, UPSS Pro will help you figure out the involved costs, down to the last decimal.
