FedEx Web Service problem

[sridharv86]

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

<requestedpackage> 
  <sequencenumber>1</sequencenumber>
  <weight>
        <value>  1< /value>
        <units> LB </units>
  </weight>
  <dimensions>
    <length> 10     </length>
    <width> 10 </width>
    <height>  10 </height>
   <units> IN </units>
  </dimensions>
</requestedpackage> 
<requestedpackage> 
  <sequencenumber>2</sequencenumber>
  <weight>
        <value>  1< /value>
        <units> LB </units>
  </weight>
  <dimensions>
    <length> 10     </length>
    <width> 10 </width>
    <height>  10 </height>
   <units> IN </units>
  </dimensions>
</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.

hello Sridhar , how did you generate the SOAP message input and send it to FedEx WS for processing ? and how did you recieve it & parse the response ?
