Formula to calculate Shipping Costs for UPS, FedEx. DHL or USPS

Calculationg Shipping Quotes
One of the necessities of the promotioanl products industry  is being able to calculate  freight costs on Drop Shipments. As a dstributor- we ship fro our manufactuer to our client.
Has anyone come up with a formula that allows input of:
Zip Code of Vendor to
Zip Code of client.
Weight of box.
How many boxes are shipping.
Choice of shipping method(UPS, FedEx, DHL)
Results to show the published rates of the designated carrier
Alternate: Abiltity to put in our own account number for any of the package companies to get our discounted rate.

This would be the great time saver of all time!

    Hi
This could be possible if you could send the query parameters in the URL.There has to be a website of the carrier which could help the user in calculating the price.Just to get yourself started, you could refer to my earlier post
