Hi,
I'm using FedEx for my shipment and use the FedEx rate calculator to find the shipping cost. When I send the request and get back the response, I always find that there is no discount applied even if i send a quantity of 100.

can someone help me out with the following questions so that i can get clear with how to work with the fedex webservice

1. If i want to send 2 quantities of a product. will i be constructing the request with a package count as 2 and repeating the same <requestedpackage> twice ?
ie.. the SOAP request ll look like
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <requestedpackage> 
  2.   <sequencenumber>1</sequencenumber>
  3.   <weight>
  4.         <value>  1< /value>
  5.         <units> LB </units>
  6.   </weight>
  7.   <dimensions>
  8.     <length> 10     </length>
  9.     <width> 10 </width>
  10.     <height>  10 </height>
  11.    <units> IN </units>
  12.   </dimensions>
  13. </requestedpackage> 
  14. <requestedpackage> 
  15.   <sequencenumber>2</sequencenumber>
  16.   <weight>
  17.         <value>  1< /value>
  18.         <units> LB </units>
  19.   </weight>
  20.   <dimensions>
  21.     <length> 10     </length>
  22.     <width> 10 </width>
  23.     <height>  10 </height>
  24.    <units> IN </units>
  25.   </dimensions>
  26. </requestedpackage> 
is this rite ?

2. why am i not getting any discounts when i ship more (say more than 100 quantities).

3. what are the RateRequestTypes.ACCOUNT, RateRequestTypes.LIST
are for ?

i went through some of the fedex documentation but couldnt understand much.


Pls help me with understanding these basic qns.

Thanks,
Sridhar

I suggest that you contact FedEx for these questions...I think this is way too specific for this forum.
