Purpose
This Web Service Call allows a third party application to retrieve a list of services and their associated estimated charges based on the parameters provided such as:
- Sending Location
- Receiving Location
- Dimensions of the freight to be quoted
This service only provides estimated charges (which may include fees) but the final invoice amount will be determined once the freight has successfully traveled.
GetChargeQuote3 returns the exact same information as GetQuote. This example includes a Country Code and consignment relevant information that may help provide a more accurate quote.
