Abstract

A request is received to provide shipping rate information to ship a package from a source location to a destination location. A shipping rate is determined locally in response to the request to ship the package via a third-party carrier without making in response to the request a call to the third-party carrier. The locally determined shipping rate is included in a set of shipping rates returned to a node associated with the request.
