New UPS rates today

Hi All

Don't forget, new UPS rates take effect today!

I'm wondering if anyone has attacked the rural 'delivery area surcharge'
of $1.00 for selected zip codes that is now in effect.  UPS built it
into their Canada zone tables some time ago, but for the US they just
provide a LONG list of zip codes to which it applies.  My impulse is
to just add it across-the-board. (like we did for commercial/residential)
What's next - rainy day surcharges?

Also, I have a client whose site is getting busier and would like
to upgrade to a more sophisticated back-end/fulfillment system that
would dovetail with the minivend way of doing things.
Is anyone using an off-the-shelf package for this?  We'd be
interested in your comments/experiences.

Thanks.
