Shipping calculator module?

Has anyone done a shipping calculator for xoops? I need one for my customers from eBay and overstock. If there is none is there a way to run one in a block? Im kinda lost on this but any helpful info in the right direction would be great.

UPS, USPS & FedEx in that order would be a wonderful start. I personally dont need worldwide shipping myself just the usa.

I wonder if you were talking about certain shipping options.

Ground
Next Day Air
Media Mail

and so on...

Insured vs non insured.

Ackbarr sorry it took so long to post back.

Yeah, I was talking specifically about shipping companies. UPS and FedEx both have web-services that can be queried to determine proper shipping costs, not sure about USPS.

That will be the biggest limitation in a shipping calculator - just like a weather module, it will have to get its rates from somewhere because of price fluctuations.

With the module grabbing prices direct from the carriers there would be no need to update the module.

I think thats wondeful myself. You would always have the correct price structure.
