How to get shipping info with Amazon's Product Advertising API

I am working with Amazon's Product Advertising API and getting all product's information. I am getting everything but having problem with getting the shipping info. I have not seen any variable in the XML returned by the API. Once again, I am saying that I am getting all other information. I have even checked the URLs in DetailPageURL variable in a browser but there is no shipping info. It means the searchindex kitchen may not have any shipping info.

Now I want to ask If Amazon's API returns the shipping info? If so, in what variable is it returned in so that I can put a check in my code?

Amazon's shipping charges vary by locale and most probably change frequently. The Product Advertising API does not have this info.

You can find more info about Amazon's shipping charges here under the subheading Shipping Rates and Times

Even though that data is not available through the Product Advertising API, you might have better luck using the Marketplace Web Service (you can use this visualizer to see what kind of data it returns)
