Rating

Most carriers have the ability to request all rates for a given origin/destination pair or a single rate. Since these API calls take the same amount of time to complete and to provide carrier consistency, RocketShipIt only provides the ability to request all rates. If you are looking for a single rate simply filter out the unwanted rates from the response.

For most carriers if a rate/service is not available in that region it will not be returned.

Some carriers will even selectively remove rates for you based on estimated delivery time.
