The system is preferably implemented as program code stored and executed by a processor or computer that is interfaced to the Internet. The system preferably retrieves shipping information from a database created and maintained by an existing accounting package, queries several shipping courier's Web sites to determine which site offers the lowest shipping cost, and places an electronic shipping order with the selected courier's Web site.
