Hello Jon,

I can't see what you see in front of you, so I am assuming that what you
are referring to is the fact there are perhaps 15 modes in shipping.asc.
Each needs to be queried in sequence (often using the same ups-query).

Basically, when any one of these returns zero it gets removed from the
list, and the rest get displayed as shipping alternatives at checkout.

So you can answer the question yourself; Can I reduce the number of
lines in shipping.asc to 2 or 3?

Regards,

Frank Reitzenstein.
