    Hello,

    Does anyone have any experience over Fedex integration using SOAP?
    I am unable to get it working properly. Sometimes it returns shipping cost and sometimes not...

    Any help appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Posting the code here will be of no help. This is not a syntactical or logical error, the problem is the way FEDEX works.... Only the one who has experience in fedex integration can help. Thanks for the help though.

    Added you on skype... Sorry, I went out when you pinged and found you offline when I returned. Hope I can talk to you soon. Thanks.

    I worked with UPS XML barebones and PHP /AJAX it worked, but those outgoing scripts are sensitive to the servers of UPS/FED Ex.. sometimes it would return the full 7 day possibility in a drop-down menu in 2 seconds after user entered their zip code, sometimes it would sit and flash the processing array for 10 seconds which is of course too long in Internet time. Unless you can make a script with a list of all US Ips or International and have them ping the script ,return the info and have it stored to database. That will at least give you valid info for a year IF you're working with one set product weight. It wasn't good enough for us as printing comes in all different weight depending on bulk. So our back-up was to average it from the range of weights. If UPS and Fed Ex would make a script they made available every year with the weights/pricing that can be run on your own SQL ,that would be great. A database SQL dump text file that could be dropped into an SQL and ready to run each year. Such a simple solution and .... Yukon Cornelius at FedEx and UPS says *nuknuk* Nothin...
