Finally, a robust FedEx shipping module! It offers many more configuration options than
Merchant's standard FedEx module, such as calculation taking into account dimensional weight, and declared value insurance.
In addition, it lets you configure products to be shipping independently
in their own box (or multiple quantity per box) and from their own zip code. Individual products can
be flagged to have free shipping, products being shipping in their own box can be specified
to have free shipping on a per-method basis (eg. free FedEx Home Delivery for product x), and individual methods can be
configured to be free (eg. free FedEx ground). Individual methods can be discounted (eg. FedEx Ground
25% off). Individual methods can also have specific handling charges assigned to them.
The merchant can specify the maximum weight to put
into individual shipping boxes as well as a maximum number. The module uses a sophisticated algorithm to pack the boxes
to the maximum weight while maintaining the lowest number of boxes. The methods seen by the customer
in the drop down shipping selection list can be sorted either ascending or descending (or not at all).
The module calculates it's rates by direct XML communication with FedEx's servers and obviously offers FedEx's
shipping options but otherwise is similar in functionality
to the UPS Online Advanced module.
