Hi there.
I am designing a store for a client using oscommerce, but I am in no way a developer.
I can install contributions but that is about all that I can do in terms of coding.
I have a problem.
My client sells rakes which way around 1040lbs
So he has to use FedEx freight.
I can't charge by state as the prices differ immensely and they work it out on weight and postcode.
They say that all they offer is an XML system. They say that it should be easy to implement.
Basically, you create a url structured according to details that the customer inputs e.g below you will see cnzip=80112 this is obviously a zip code.
http://www.fedexfreight.fedex.com/XMLRatin..._iamthe=shipper
This generates an XML file that provides quotes for shipping costs and the estimated shipping time.
Does anyone have any clue how to get this working? I've seen a UPS XML system, but I have NO idea how to convert it to work with FedEx freight.
I know that open source development is all about helping people, but if you need motivation then maybe we can work out some kind of monetary reward or maybe complete some complementary flash work for you, as that is my speciality..
Please remember that this is FedEx FREIGHT, this is completely separate from standard FedEx and so solutions such as a FedEx API do not work.
Thanks very much, I will really appreciate it if anyone can help.
