The following ColdFusion custom tags were developed by Joseph DeVore using third-party API's. The product names, brand names, service marks, copyrights and trademarks are property of their respective owners. I am in no way affiliated with any of the companies whose API's I've integrated into ColdFusion.

I have several more custom tags that will be available very soon. To name a few of the tags that are currently in beta: USPS, FedEx Rate Request, FedEx Available Rates & Services, FedEx Ship Request/FedEx Ship Delete Request, FedEx Track2Request, FedEx Signature Proof of Delivery, FedEx Locator and DHL Rates & Services. I also have a few ecommerce ColdFusion custom tags that will be up on this site soon. If you have an immediate need for any of the tags below, please contact me since I've removed the links to try or buy (for the time being while I finalize a few things with this site).
