Introduction

Welcome to CMS version 4.2.4. This update includes includes the 2010 shipping rate changes for USPS, UPS and FedEx, all of which are effective Jan 4, 2010.

READ BEFORE INSTALLING 4.2.4
Important points to note before installing to ensure you are prepared to transition to the new version.

Installing - During the installation of version 4.2.4 you will be asked to enter your 4.x release code. Release codes from previous 4.x versions will still work. You can access your current 4.x release code by logging into the Support Downloads section of our web site. Just enter your customer number and zip code to log in.

When to Install - The shipping rates in CMS will be updated when you install the 4.2.4 update. As such, you should time the installation of your update to coincide with when you want the new rates to be available.

It should be noted that having the current rates in CMS does not impact your ability to ship properly with any of the CMS shipping integrations. In every case, the software that prints the shipping label (e.g. Worldship, Ship Manager, HarveySoft, ShipRush, etc.) determines the proper rate for the shipment and thus how you are billed.

Having the current rates in CMS is often more of a reference. Its greatest impact, though, is in situations where the shipping and handling charge you charge to your customer is based on the carrier's actual rate (instead of a spending table or other formulas.) If this is how you charge your customers for shipping and handling you will want to make sure you have this update installed so you have the proper rates.

Release notes from previous versions can be accessed by clicking HERE. If you are upgrading from a version earlier than 4.2.3 please take the time to review the release notes from previous releases for important and valuable information.

Integrations - All of our supported integrations will continue to work in 4.2.4 as they have previously. This includes Endicia new version of DaZzle 10.1. Be aware that UPS has started to make a beta version of their new Worldship software available to some companies. We have not received a copy of this yet so cannot comment on its compatibility with CMS. If you've been contacted by UPS and would like to participate in the beta, please contact us so we can test it for you before you deploy.

4.2.4 ENHANCEMENT DETAILS

  1. USPS 2010 rates - USPS has updated rates for Priority Mail including flat rates, and Express Mail. They have also renamed Priority Mail Flat Rate Box to Priority Mail Medium Flat Rate Box. These new rates and this name change are included in this update.

    USPS also announced additional new services and rates for companies shipping in excess of 250,000 parcels via USPS a year, what they refer to as Commercial Plus. We believe this precludes the majority of our users thus we have not added these options to this release. If you qualify for Commercial Plus and are interested in using the related services, please let us know.
