title: Magento - Save shipping rate outside of the collectRates Method
body: <p>I am trying to calculate shipping price based on dimensions, post code and type of parcel(regular/express). I am able to calculate that using AUSPOST api but the problem is to save the shipping rate outside of the collectRates method in magento. If I do this...</p>
  
  <pre><code>$result = Mage::getModel('shipping/rate_result');
  
  
  $method = Mage::getModel('shipping/rate_result_method');
  $method-&gt;setCarrier("excellence_excellence");
  $method-&gt;setMethod("excellence_excellence");
  $method-&gt;setCarrierTitle("");
  $method-&gt;setMethodTitle("");
  $method-&gt;setPrice($myValue);
  $method-&gt;setCost($myValue);
  $result-&gt;append($method);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It does not work because the $result has to be saved in the quote. Can anyone help me on this?</p>
