click on shipping and start reading, they have a set of intergration
guides/api's to figure shipping but that needed a login.
ups has the same kind of information on line. I did not check fedex
but I think they also have it.
If you want to solve this peroblem I would suggest that you call them
and let them tell you what you need to do to use there data.
Now if you are truely ignorant of what needs to be done from a
technical point of view the cheapest thing you can do is hire someone
else to do it for you.
Good luck
