If you need zoned-based shipping calculations then this is the only thing
available.

Otherwise, Rich Carey has commerce.cgi which is excellent. I did a lot of
business on it, and would still be there if it handled shipping better.

If you don't need zone-based shipping then there are many options available.
I recommend that you explore the free ones first.
