courier to use for e-commerce store

[mic_y]

Hi guys,

I am busy building an e-commerce store and would like some recommendations on what couriers you would recommend using.

The store is running WooCommerce, and I was planning on using Aramex, but have had endless issues with using the Aramex API to get shipping rates.

Not up and running just yet.

I am still battling to get the Aramex API talking to the Aramex rate calculator plugin. This is the error logged by the Aramex plugin. It is a response from the Aramex webservice, but for the life of me, I can not figure out what to do to get a rate out of the API.

08-20-2015 @ 15:15:36 - Aramex: Enter calculate shipping function.
08-20-2015 @ 15:15:37 - Response: stdClass Object

                )

        )

    [HasErrors] => 1
    [TotalAmount] => 
)

Already paid for the plugin though, so currently I am hoping to get a refund.

@Gary, have you had any issues with the woocommerce shipping plugin from Fastway?
