Fedex Rates incorrect

[borne]

Yeah... I looked into your mod files this morning and seen where the fees come from.. gateway.fedex.com/gatewaydc - wow.. they are feeding me the wrong rates. I just let a message with a fedex web integration specialist and hopefully they will call me back. Thanks Tony for all your help. I can already see why its been a headache and 1/2 dealing with these people!

Greetings all,
I have the same problem with incorrect rates provided by Fedex.
I checked with shipment from 90040 (Los Angeles - USA) to 75004 (Paris - France), 42 lbs

In Zencart:
FedEx International Priority® $162.50
FedEx International Economy® $182.12

Fedex calculator:
FedEx International Priority® 377.02
FedEx International Economy® 340.82

As you can see, the difference is huge, so if you find out how this can be fixed, I would be very grateful to share the info.

Also I would like to know how it's possible to setup the size of the package, since on Fedex calculator there are differences between different sizes, but on Fedex config I didn't see any configuration option for it.

Thanks.

Sorry if there is typo but i do not speak english or write in english normaly:

Well the only thing i can see as per your issue is that you have not change the following options :

go to --> admin, then go to --> configuration, then go to --> shipping/packaging, then change the following to :

Package Tare Small to Medium - added percentage:weight 0:0
Larger packages - added packaging percentage:weight 0:0

----------------------

You see that i made it so no extra charge are added to the price.

Reason is that if you dont put it to 0:0 then extra is charge on top of your price you have inputed regarding weight.

eg:

10:3 means 10% more on 3kg and more

so your quotes to customer wont be accurate and charge will be off.

I resolved my problem by putting it to zero. and inputing the info regarding prices and weight in the module for by selecting shipping cost by weight then manually inputing each weight and its price.

eg:

1:4.76,2:5.78,3:10.98, etc.etc.etc.

so it reads like this : up to 1lb = 4.76, up to 2lb = 5.78, etc.etc.etc.

Long process but accurate price charge to the customer by zencart at checkout.

I get extra as per the price are base in the shopping cart and shown to the customer as what regular joblow see at fedex website.

I get charge less by fedex as per i have a business account with them. :)

Hope this helps someone .

P.S.

I price my items by using the attributes and inputing the weight in the weight field located on the right side of the price field.

Can be done also the regular way :

eg :

create product and fill out all the info needed or edit one product then input weight at buttom of the form.

Remeber that the two option to put at zero i mention at the beggining of the post
will affects both ways of charging the product to the customer eg:

attributes or regular way.

I was having problems with incorrect quotes too. This solution made an exact match with Fedex. Thanks
