Hi guys
I just installed the e-commerce modules last night, and have been trying to figure out how to implement it on a courier company website, so that users can get instant price quotes after entering a few variables.
I have failed to do this , anyone know if this possible and if not any cheap or open source ways of doing this.

I think I get you, can you
I think I get you, can you just clarify where the calculations are being done? Internally or are you passing these to third-party shipping apis?
Internally
I want to be able to create a Drupal page, that offers an instate quote form (this internally). I think that way it is easier then trying to integrate a 3rd party console.
Shipping nor flexicharge
Shipping nor flexicharge will do this out of the box. You might just as easily use cck with a compute field, a custom search (for the quoting part) and then sell that node.
But yeah, no clear simple solution.
