    Default Re: Is there a functioning FedEx module for 1.3.8a?

    Code:
    WHERE products_id = " . $product['id']
    replace with:

    Code:
    WHERE products_id = " . (int)$product['id']

    I also just replaced:

    Code:
    $data .= '116,"' . $this->num_pieces . '"'; // Total number of pieces
    with

    Code:
    $data .= '116,"' . $shipping_num_boxes . '"'; // Total number of pieces
    I'm still not sure if it's working right because I'm having issues accessing my client's account on the FedEx site. But at least it's giving me rates now that are closer to reality. (Before I did that second replace, I got a quote of $238.25 for shipping a half-pound box that happened to have 25 small items in it.)

    Before adding the above mods, my FedEx quotes were too high. With the mods added in, the quotes are too low.
    I compared the quotes to FedEx's website on the shipping estimater.

    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.

    The rates quoted when you have an account number ARE lower than the ones you get when you use their estimator without an account number, so make sure you're logged in to that account and using the correct account number when comparing on the FedEx shipping estimator.

    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.

    Here are the differences Cart vs Website

    1st Overnight 61.84 vs 60.55
    Priority Overnight 31.58 vs 35.30
    Standard Overnight 27.60 vs 29.85
    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.

    As for the rates, I did notice they were lower on the FedEx site ("Your Prices") than on the cart estimate. I still haven't regained my access to the client account so I haven't been able to test more, but it's curious that it's returning different prices to the cart. Maybe they build in a profit?
