The also provided me with the SOAP rate request that they had on file. I can email it to you if you would like to see the results to see if anything has changed on the FedEx side.
I guess the question is, does anyone have FedEx shipments working on their site and if so did you have to do anything special to get it to work. Could there be an issue with version 1.50 and the FedEx module where the wrong fields are being mapped to the page?
Again thanks for your help
The FedEx shipping module only needs the key, password, account number, and meter numbers to retrieve rates (update the default state and zip for more accurate rates). Test and production keys both work to retrieve rates.
You probably have a either a shipping discount applied to the store or "Free Shipping over X" is checked (with a low 'X' value) in shipping settings. These can cause all shipping options to be free (even FedEx).
For the
shipping discount, check in Administration > Promotions > Discounts for discounts where discount type is "Assigned to Shipping". If the percentage or dollar amount is high enough, it can cause all the shipping options to be zero. If there is no required discount code then it will automatically be applied to every order. You can check "Requires coupon code:" and enter a code to keep the discount, but have it only applied when the correct code is entered.
Check the "
Free Shipping over X" in Administration > Configuration > Shipping > Shipping Settings. If it is checked and "Value of 'X'" is lower than the order amount, then you will have free shipping for all shipping options.
Also, you will need to enter dimensions for your products if you want to get more accurate rates. If you have the dimensions set to 0, then the FedEx shipping module sets the height, width, and length to 1 inch. I say more accurate because there is a flaw in the way the shipping package dimensions are calculated when you have multiple products in an order. This flaw also exists in the USPS and UPS modules.
