I lost the ability to log into to my client's FedEx data on the FedEx website in the middle of my testing so I can't verify that the quotes I'm getting now are correct.Quote:

I tried again logging into their website using our account number and all of the Cart's estimates are still lower except 1st Overnight. The lowers ones range from almost 4.00 to just under 1.00.Quote:

2 Day 18.34 vs 19.29
Express Saver 16.75 vs 17.52
Home N/A vs 7.97
One package weighing 8 lbs going to a location 35 miles away.
Also, how do we get FedEx Home Delivery on to the Cart?
I found that if you go to the My Fedex page once you are logged in, you will get a List of prices and a Your Prices List. The Your prices are lower than the carts, so all is well. Thanks for that tip cpowell1.
Anyone know about the FedEx Home though?
FedEx home seems to show if you're shipping to someone who doesn't have a company name entered.Quote:

I confirmed your observation that the error occurs when adding products to the cart which have attributes.
Considering a possible add on conflict , I also have Stock by Attributes installed
The source of the problem is with fedexexpress.php and fedexground.php function _getDimensions()
( even though I have this option disabled .. )
for now I just added return false; at the beginning to disable the SQL script which has remedied the problem.
I'm sure there's other ways to disable the function (( just comment it ) but I don't know how to fix the syntax error if I needed to use the function.. , I've spent enough time on this problem already .. If anyone has found a better way to correct this error , please let me know.
Are people getting this error with the version on the Numinix website?Quote:

I decided that the easiest way for me to acheive the desired rates without SUPER custom coding, would be to add a couple of fields to the products table. I added: products_origin_zip , products_origin_city , products_origin_state , and products_origin_addr.
My only hurdle is how to grab the values of those fields and send them through the fedex shipping mod in place of MODULE_SHIPPING_FEDEX_GROUND_ADDRESS_1, MODULE_SHIPPING_FEDEX_GROUND_CITY, MODULE_SHIPPING_FEDEX_GROUND_POSTAL. And will it still come back with rates or will it not work because those values won't match my shipping values on the fedex account itself??
I think that if this is able to be done, then voila... drop-ship shipping rates would be solved. Well, if we could pass the above data on a per item basis so that if Product A had x origin and Product B had y origin, total shipping would be (prdA shipping) + (prdB shipping).
Installed v1.4.3 on ZC v1.3.8. Everything seems to be working, but my rates are off. For instance, a 1lb FedEx Home package to zone 1 should be 4.57 + 2.05 residential surcharge + .23 fuel surcharge , for a total of 6.85. I'm showing 8.80 on the shipping estimator. The correct account number is being used.
Think I figured it out. My test item is a couple hundred dollars and it's using that to set insurance rates. However, I don't want to do this as I don't use FedEx insurance. Any way to turn that off?

FedEx was NOT showing up in either the Shipping Estimator OR Checkout. After double checking everything I had done, searching all of the threads, I asked FedEx.
I was told to [FONT="Fixedsys"]remove all dashes from account number and phone number AND to remove all periods from addresses.[/FONT]
Did so and all problems solved. :clap:
Thanks to all here AND to the great folks at FedEx.

In your setup for both Fedex modules, just set the "Insurance" to NONE - think this should work for ya.Quote:

My Fedex plugin is working just fine. I just got a letter from Fedex that they are discontinuing support of Fedex Ship Manager API solutions.
We are unaffected by this, right? I don't have to do anything?
I tried the fix and removed all the dashes from the fed ex info and telephone number and niw when I add something to the cart, I get:
1054 Unknown column 'products_length' in 'field list'
in:
[SELECT products_length, products_width, products_height, products_ready_to_ship, product_is_always_free_shipping FROM zen_products WHERE products_id = 16 LIMIT 1]
Any suggestions?
thank you,
betty

I signed up for an account on FedEx and put all the info, I also double checked not to have dashes and dots in the phone number, acount # and address.
Anyone has any idea why it might be?

From a Newbie
I just downloaded version 1.4.3 of the Fedex add on. Can someone help with a path question. The install instructions refer to a path of:
includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/checkout_shipping
I cannot find the folder YOUR_TEMPLATE Do I need to create the folder or am I missing the reason it is in caps ?
Any help is appreciated
It means change YOUR_TEMPLATE to match the name of the folder your template is in.Quote:

There seems to be one problem.
I can't get the "FedEx Ground" to change to "FedEx Home Delivery", when using home address. The FedEx person could not help me with this, but left notes on the image that I send her.
I will insert it here:problem.jpg

Please would somebody help me?
Thank you.

Hi Numinix.
I want to thank you again for this module. With the help of a colleague, I finally tweaked the module for use with drop-shipping. The fedex shipping rate can now be calculated based on a user defined origin zip code (definable for each and every product). It will also get the independant shipping amount for each item in the cart, take the sum of all items, and use the sum for the shipping charge. This way when items shipping from different locations are added, correct shipping is still charged.
I think the key feature is that each individual product can have a different shipping origin, or you can use the same for each product from the same wholesaler, etc.
If you get a moment, please take a look at it and tell me what you think. If there is anything that looks like it can be improved, new ideas, etc. Anyone else, feel free to download and start using today. Module has been submitted to ZC team for approval. I'll post formal link at that time.
Files and documentation can be downloaded here. Thread for mod is http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=139047
My site won't show Fedex express on some items. Any idea why? I have v. 1-4-5-2.
Thanks, R
