I’ve been doing a lot of searches and research. I need a library that  
can communicate with the major shipping carriers: fedex, ups, usps, etc.

The best one I found was active\_shipping  
([GitHub - Shopify/active\_shipping: ActiveShipping is a simple shipping abstraction library extracted from Shopify](http://github.com/Shopify/active_shipping/tree/master))

Is there another library that I am missing that’s better? Or is this it?

I appreciate your help.
