  1. Hello,
    My FedEx Rate API working and showing rate to the customer. In the part creating a shipping label, I am getting an error like “Authentication Failed”. How can i create FedEx Shipping API?

    Note: My FedEx Rate API Working Good.

    1. FedEx requires you to submit test labels for evaluation prior to shifting your label traffic from the test server to the production server. You get that error because the permissions of your authentication key have not been set by FedEx for production labels. You have to call the FedEx Tech Support Hotline and tell them you want to submit test labels so you can move to production. They will email you a coversheet and the instructions for submitting the test labels. 877 339 2774 at the voice prompt say “Web Services”

  2. In FedEx tracking portal i have
    “shipping label has been created. the status will be updated when shipment begins to travel” status. Even though shipment date expires status not changed and Shipment not created… Why??

  4. I’m using Magento 1.9.4.2.
    The site is linked to our FedEx account.
    Up to about 5 or 6 boxes… FedEx results are correct to the Penny.
    As soon as we cross into 7 boxes + the site does NOT display the FedEx Multiweight results (as it should), but instead calculates the dimensional weight of every box and adds it up (from 1 box to 9999 boxes)

    FedEx Tech Support claim they can see the multiweight results being calculated in the back-end, but Magento is displaying something completely different (mostly too high) on the front-end.

    Anyone can recommend a solution?

    Best wishes to all

    Ben

  18. FED EX rates are using the Discount rates provided by Fed instead of the Published rates show on the FED EX web site. Once we have integrated withour Magento Web site I do not see and selection that asks if we want to use Discount rates or published rates?
    Is by design, if so then i would have to request a standard type of account from FED EX so that it would use the published rates? Unless you have some other type of solution?
