Hi all,
I've installed the FedEx Module but I get this
Ground Home Delivery ($2.06)
Ground Business Delivery ($0.22)
Is there a way of getting rid of the business delivery or fix the weight issue?
Thanks for any help

I've downloaded and expanded the FedEx module from Vermonster. However, I must be stupid, because the directions that super_yupi gave really don't make any sense.

Where do you put the code?
How do you configure Virtumart to see it?

I can't be the only one that is wondering.......am I?

I just heard from my client that they want to go with FedEx Ground for their shipping. Big headache of course, but what's the status of this module? Is the version a page or so back the latest and is everyone getting it to work. Seems like Vicky is having trouble, anyone else? I'll install today but the client hasn't set up their account so I can't test right away.

I do have this question. The client gets the FedEx Account Number, then I use that and set up the Manager API at https://www.fedex.com/cgi-bin/shipapiDownload.cgi?link=4&first=y, right?

I am just curious how this module was coming along? I was planning on starting work on one today as I didnt know this already existed. I had hoped to use a lot of the code from the DHL module to allow tracking and such. I am also planning to implement a feature to the DHL and if i make one, FedEx Module that will allow users to track their own package from a virtuemart site.

I guess my real question is should I / can I reuse code from this module, or should I start from scratch, or should I not crate a Fedex module that allows shipping label printing/ management at all.

The best info I have gotten is from here http://virtuemart.net/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=71&topic=14414.msg46796#msg46796

There really should be a wiki entry somewhere with latest code and how to info. It is pretty frustrating trying to get this setup and working. I get a blank page when I get to the shipping part of virtuemart cart using 1.0.7.

I agree. A central place for help on implementing FedEx would be great. I need to set this up soon and am really dreading it.

I talked to Soren, and he said that the FedEx module was not being worked on for lack of interest by a programmer. So, I've got my programmer working on it, and am waiting for him to give me a quote.

Anyone interested in kicking in to help fund finishing the Fedex mod?

How much is this going to be?

[Sammy Russo]

Yes, my client would be willing to kick in a few bucks to get this mod completed.  Let me know what your programmer quotes and I'll see what I can squeeze out of my client!

Cheers!

I might be able to pitch in some, too.

Any idea on how much this might cost?

Our FedEx representative came over this morning and tried to convince me that virtuemart could work directly with FedEx. We do many air shipments daily with FedEx.

I will see what I can do with their IT team.

I have a programmer who has set up a shipping mod to provide handling costs for shipping material, limited shipping states, and mixed-case discounts for a wine shipper I'm working on. I paid him for that, and when its done, he'll post it on his website for others to download.

He has also agreed to finish the FedEx module, free of charge. He's a great guy, we should donate money to him to finish this, don't you think? I'm talking to him now, we'll get this done.....

[Madoxp]

meadwench, that would be amazing! My team is planning to GO in a few months and we would love to keep our existing relationship with FedEx for shipping. Any details on how to donate?
