ShipStation getting a kickback for UPS Ground Saver?

Your software constantly suggests to use Ground Saver and indicates it's the cheapest option. This is false. I have had dozens of packages where regular UPS Ground is cheaper than Ground Saver.

So what is this? A scam to get more kick backs? or sloppy programming?

I couldn't agree more.

UPS is giving SS a kickback. It really sucks.

It's such a pain in the butt. There's no reason SS can't select the cheapest shipper....but if you noticed, they now have a plug-in that'll do that for $150/month. Such a scam.
