Down with .netSHIP!
Recently, after reading a few posts from other developers, I setup a GotDotNet Workspace to make available the beginnings of an alternative assembly for retreiving quotes for shipping from the major providers. It seems I wasn't the only one seriously disappointed by .netSHIP.
The assembly being developed is certainly not complete, but we've got basic support for retreiving quotes from FedEx, UPS and Airborne Express. Come on over and join us!
