I really like the look and feel of your cart, but I need more, and more accurate shipping options. Will the E-Junkie cart work with a 3rd-party shipping calculator?

I know Development has been working on some upgrades to our Shipping calculation feature, and UPS rate lookups have been discussed in that regard, but that is all we can say for now.

Thanks Tyson. In the short term, can you suggest a way to "fudge" an additional charge to approximate USPS insurance? I guess the best place would be to add it to the packaging type.(?)

You could add it as a Handling charge that gets added once to each full order for any items with Shipping enabled. If you wanted a more product-specific range of insurance surcharges, you could set those fees as the Cost of various packaging Container Types, then configure each product with the appropriate packaging container.
