FedEx Shipping using REST API

[swguy]

Saturday shipping does work, it was just hard to see because it wasn't specifically called out. I have updated Github to show when a method is priced for Saturday delivery.

Thanks. Take time.

I'm not sure if there is a way to test this feature other than Thursday and Friday...

look at this line:

https://github.com/scottcwilson/zenc...xrest.php#L402

this is where the ship date gets set for rates.

if you want to test for saturday delivery, before this line:

https://github.com/scottcwilson/zenc...xrest.php#L375

you can add:

    $shipDate = new DateTime();
    // choose one of the following.  only use 1, else you will get 2 weeks out for a date.  which should still work...
    $shipDate->modify('next friday');
    $shipDate->modify('next thursday'); 

then change line 402 to

'shipDateStamp' => $shipDate->('Y-m-d'), 

best.

Hi @swguy, thanks. I have a new finding here.





If I set "Show Estimated Transit Time" to false, there is no Saturday delivery option. But if I set it to true, I can get the similar quote as your screenshot (Saturday options show up properly).

That is so smart! Thanks!

Yep, that seems to be how it works.

My 2nd thought. This screenshot looks strange. Only two Saturday delivery options and ground show the estimate delivery date. All the other options (such as 2day, saver, regular overnight) don't show the estimate delivery date.

[swguy]

Please look at the configuration description for this option:

Show Estimated Transit Time
Display the transit time for ground methods?

I see. Thanks for pointing me out. I haven't paid attention to the 2nd line under this option...

So if this option is set to true, transit time for ground and Saturday delivery options are all displayed.

If this option is set to false, transit time for ground and Saturday delivery options are all hidden.

It might be better to split this option into two options instead?

Hi @carlwhat, I just tested your suggested code. Unfortunately, I received the following error:

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '(', expecting identifier (T_STRING) or variable (T_VARIABLE) or '{' or '$'

I did some study and test. If I changed the last line as your suggested into:

'shipDateStamp' => $shipDate->format('Y-m-d'),

Then it works.
