This FedEx developer portal is extremely hard to use. It will always show error page somehow and ask you contact FedEx support. Refresh the page sometimes works but sometimes doesn't. I also tried to log out and log in again. Very frustrated.

Here are the steps:

1. Go to manage organization page, create an organization there.

2. Then go the my projects page, create a new project. It seems I cannot enter a shipping location there, or it doesn't allow me to submit.

3. Under your new project page, go to production key tab. You need to add a shipping account there by your FedEx account number. You need to see the agreement and confirm there. If you failed to confirm, it will not work. You can go to manage organization, shipping accounts. You can view the agreement there. After you confirm the agreement successfully, license agreement status need to be "Completed". Then you can go back to the project page, then create a production key there.

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...
