ashishkaul Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 I am trying to incorporate the shipping module on my site. I need to be to set up the module so that if the weight is under 5 lbs that the only option available is USPS and FedEx if its over 5lbs. How do I do this? Another question I have is, how do I set up the modules so that they can calculate the rates? At this time I do not have the FedEx option only USPS, when I downloaded the oscommerce package the FedEx option was not available. How do I get this? I do not have accounts with USPS or FedEx, is it still possible to generate automated rates based on weight and location of delivery?? Please HELP!!!! LOST!!!!

Kim B Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 This contribution has EXPLICIT instructions on adding USPS and how to do it and how to create an account. http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,487/page,6 You have to save and then read the text instructions with this download. Yes you DO have to have an account with the USPS but it does't cost a thing, you just have to register. To those who contributed this module - Thank You for going into detail with the instruction. Only problem I had was selecting all options, didn't work. When I selected just the few that I needed it works like a charm! -Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashishkaul Posted June 28, 2004 Author Share Posted June 28, 2004 Thanks for the heads up, but I fgured out how to implement the USPS contribution, what I really need now is to find out how to get a FedEx option. If you have any ideas please help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For quotes, you can use FedEx Real Time Quotes: http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,1462 ...though you'll need a FedEx account to get those quotes back. So maybe you should use Fedex Zone Shipping Calculations: http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,490 ...because that doesn't get quotes straight from FedEx, it uses a table that FedEx publishes and you install yourself, or something like that. I think you'll need Multi Vendor Shipping to use both USPS and FedEx: http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,969 ...though I doubt that can say which to use depending on the weight. I think it will require a little hack to say: if the total weight is over 5 lbs, use the fedex module; otherwise use USPS. I hope this helps, Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashishkaul Posted June 29, 2004 Author Share Posted June 29, 2004 Thanks, that helped a lot. I decided against using a limit on the weight, rather I will let the customers choose which they prefer. Your help is appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
