I was wondering if anyone knew of a way I could reduce the live ups shipping rate in Magento by a factor, say 50%. I tried negative handling, but thats not possible unfortunately.

Thanks, Soliman

Answer 1

Check the collectRates() method in Mage_Usa_Model_Shipping_Carrier_Ups inside this method you will find $this->_result = $this->_getQuotes();

Further debugging tells us $this->_result is of type Mage::getModel('shipping/rate_result') which is a container for Mage::getModel('shipping/rate_result_method') in which you shoud change the price with setData('price') or maybe setData('cost');

cheers!
