Smartpost support

That's a relatively new thing. Glancing at the new API released in March, it looks like supporting SmartPost should be very simple. Don't know when I'll have a chance to implement and test that, but I'm going to leave this open as a feature request as a reminder.

I'm interested in this too. Not sure how different it would be from the other Fedex Services options. Other than how it gets processed on the Fedex side it seems like the required fields would be the same.

This would be awesome if you could include SmartPost. Any idea when you would be able to update this module to include SmartPost?

I don't have any definite plans for adding this, since I don't yet need it for myself or any of my clients.

I would be willing to hire you to write this functionality. If you could message me a quote.

Thanks

Subscribed!!! Thanks TR!!

Does anyone want to put some money behind this feature request?

OK, let's try this. My first time using ChipIn ...

If you're interested in having this module support shipping quotes for FedEx SmartPost, please consider donating at http://ubercart.chipin.com/fedex-smartpost

When I receive 100% of the donation target, I will do the work. If the donation amount does not reach the target, I will apply the donations to upgrading this module to the newest version of the FedEx APIs. (FedEx releases a new API version every 6 months. This module currently uses v8, while the latest version is v10.)

SmartPost support would be added to both the 6.x-2.x and 7.x-2.x versions of this module.

We don't have a need for SmartPost on our website, but without TRs hard work and assistance on this module and others, we wouldn't have FedEx on our website. For this reason alone I have chipped-in a bit to TR for his efforts and expertise. Thank you very much Sir!

Hi,

It's quite possible/likely that I will be able to contribute...how much in uncertain. If interested in working out exact amounts, feel free to PM me.

Thanks, jwant

Hi,

Well, as it turns out, I'm not going to be able to chipin. I work for a dev shop, and my team would rather spend the money internally. We will surely post something back once we complete it.

Hi,

Our developers have not started on this, but I thought I would outline some features/requirements for SmartPost Integratation. Any comments/feedback are welcome.

SmartPost Features
+Integrate SmartPost service into admin: admin/store/settings/quotes/methods/fedex

+When enabled and order total weight is less than or equal to 70 lbs and deliver address country is United States (SmartPost requirements), request SmartPost quote.
SmartPopst: http://www.fedex.com/us/service-guide/our-services/us/?qgroup=toggle-c5&...
+Like other services, products are divided into packages in order to keep the total package weight below the FedEx SmartPost weight limit (70lbs).

When reviewing the quick quote, SmartPost is not an option. I'm starting to wonder if FedEx SmartPost can use the same process.

@jwant: Do you still intend to do this? It shouldn't take more than a few days. If you're not going to do it, please make that clear because no-one is going to contribute to get this done while you're promising to deliver it for free.

@TR

Good point and thanks for following-up. Our client decided not to pursue this option. Sorry for not posting back.

Any progress on this?

No change - I'm perfectly willing and able to do this, if someone wants to sponsor the effort, but since I don't have a need for it personally it's very low on my priority list.

Any new features will go into the Drupal 7 version first, then get backported.

I'd like to throw this out here and see if it helps any one.

We do use SmartPost, but as mentioned above we do not have a need for it on our website. This is because in the end, the customer will receive the package via USPS. Therefore, we have enabled the USPS quote method and adjusted it to match our cost of shipping via FedEx-SmartPost. I then used the module T-String Override to adjust the displayed text to the user stating that USPS orders are first handled by FedEx, but then delivered by USPS.

I recommend you guys try this alternative instead. For packages over 1 or 2 lbs, it is no longer cost effective to use SmartPost, so I've created a Conditional Action that will only display the USPS quote if the package is 1 pound or less.

Cheers,
BigMike
