This plugin is calculates the shipping rate for a given location and weight. It is useful for cases where the postal service in your country doesn’t provide APIs for calculating shipping rates.

This is actually extracted code from my website hushyhushy.com. I needed some sort of a calculator for shipping rates. But there isn’t any. Those available are meant for USPS, Fedex, UPS, you know the Big & Expensive mail carriers. Not suitable for poor folks like me. They have nice APIs which makes writing your own calculator code superfluous.

The code is ridiculously simple. I even find it embarrassing. Well, why code when you have the database doing all the heavy lifting for you?

Here’s the project URL: rails-postman

This is my first Rails plugin. So if you find any bugs, please yell at me! Do forgive me after that. Hahaha… Anyway, there’s another plugin coming from the hushyhushy code. That one is more complicated. But definitely more useful.
