FedEx Shipping using REST API

[njcyx]

One more update. I just generally tested this plug-in (v0.9) and it worked great. One suggestion: I noticed that there is no option to resort the result. So by default, the highest quote shows at the top and the lowest quote shows at the bottom. It could be more customer friendly if the display can be reversed, so the lowest quote shows at the top. The code in the following post still works.

I just checked the latest USPS module (k11i), and the sorting function looks more professional (thanks @lat9 ). You may refer to it for this function:

Near line 885

        // sort results
        if (MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_QUOTE_SORT !== 'Unsorted') {
            if (count($methods) !== 0) {
                if (strpos(MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_QUOTE_SORT, 'Price') === 0) {
                    foreach ($methods as $c => $key) {
                        $sort_cost[] = $key['cost'];
                        $sort_id[] = $key['id'];
                    }
                    array_multisort($sort_cost, (MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_QUOTE_SORT === 'Price-LowToHigh' ? SORT_ASC : SORT_DESC), $sort_id, SORT_ASC, $methods);
                } else {
                    foreach ($methods as $c => $key) {
                        $sort_key[] = $key['title'];
                        $sort_id[] = $key['id'];
                    }
                    array_multisort($sort_key, (MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_QUOTE_SORT === 'Alphabetical' ? SORT_ASC : SORT_DESC), $sort_id, SORT_ASC, $methods);
                }
            }
        }

Hi @swguy, can you please try and see if FedEx 2day Saturday delivery is displayed properly? My testing site didn't show it up today (Thursday), but only the regular FedEx 2day. Saturday Delivery option is enabled in the option. Also, there is no shipping cutoff time option...

To clarify, Saturday delivery option should be only available for 2day shipping on Thursday, and for overnight shippings on Friday.

I checked the debug file, there is no 2day saturday delivery option neither... Only regular 2day and 2day am.

One more update. I just tried to get a quote today (Friday). Overnight with saturday delivery options didn't show up neither...

I will investigate. Please be patient.

Thanks. Take time.

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

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.

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).

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.

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.

That is so smart! Thanks!
