Numinix first off, great contribution. I am hoping that what I am trying to do will work... One of the biggest setbacks in shipping prices with ZC is "Drop-Shipping". I know, I know, I said the D-word, please read on, I promise I'm not asking for a mod to be made :)
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).
