That URL doesn't work, but I did find this -> Numinix FedEx Web Services Shipping add-on for ZenCart. Module is installed, but giving quotes on weight different that item selected. I.E. for a single item that is 0.75lbs the rate quoted is based on 3.83lbs, for 3 items totally 4lbs quote is based on 7.40lbs... Any idea where the extra weight is coming from? does not appear to be fixed or percentage though (seems to vary between 3 & 3.5lbs based on the tests I've done so far)... Also all other (default) shipping modules (except Store Pick-up) have been disabled/unistalled. Thanks for any help.

The link I posted is old and goes to an old FedEx that is out of date now ... the one on numinix site is more recent and does work ...

Check your settings in the Configuration ... Shipping/Packaging ... and see if you have Tare Rates set ... they can be turned off by setting to 0:0 ...

Thank you! I forgot about the Shipping/Packaging being under Configuration I was rooting around in the Modules -> Shipping area trying to figure out what I was missing. Again thanks for your help!
