FedExRates Component

Properties Methods Events Config Settings Errors

Provides access to pre-ship rate information for a single package per your established FedEx account rates.

Syntax

DPayments.DShippingSDK.Fedexrates

Remarks

When providing origin, destination information, weight, and service, this component allows a user to obtain a rate quote for a specific service, or a list of available FedEx Express services with the respective rate quotes.

You can send a rate request to FedEx by calling the GetRates method for:

a specific FedEx service (when RequestedService is specified). In this case, the component will return rates for packages based on a combination of origin, destination, service type, weight, and package type. This also checks if the requested service is available, checks your origin/destination pair and ship date to determine whether the service you requested is a valid service type.
all available FedEx services (when RequestedService is set to UNSPECIFIED, which is the default value) and a specified destination. This option is available for all shipping types and destinations.

Discount rates are available for all services and origin/destination pairs. List rates are available for Express and Ground U.S. shipments only. To have list rates returned with your discount rates, you must set the RateType to 0 (rtList). This way, you will receive both discount and list rates.

When requesting a rate quote, include as much detail as possible about your shipment. This information is important for calculating the correct shipping costs with surcharges.

Rating for a Multiple Package Shipment (MPS) is available for: Express U.S. Domestic and International multiple package shipments, Ground US Domestic and International multiple-package shipments, Express Domestic C.O.D. and International C.O.D. multiple-package shipments and Ground Domestic C.O.D. and International C.O.D. multiple-package shipments.

Please note that all rate quotes are estimates only and may differ from the actual invoiced amount.

With the FedExRates Component, you can:

Ensure service availability (after you provide the carrier code, service type, origination & destination postal codes, packaging type, drop-off type, and estimated weight);
Retrieve the rate required for that shipment.

The restrictions on the allowed property values are listed separately under each control property description. If the user enters more than the allowed number of characters, an error will not be generated. The control will simply pass in the characters provided and the server may disregard the extra characters. This is important since the resulting value could prevent a correct response.

To use this component, you must have a FedEx AccountNumber. You should also have already obtained a ClientId and ClientSecret; uniquely assigned to your account by FedEx.

The meaning and limitations for each special service option are listed below:

COD: Indicates that this is a COD shipment. This service will affect shipping rates and service availability. This is applicable for domestic FedEx Express and Ground services, except FedEx Home Delivery premium. When shipping COD via FedEx Ground, the CODAmount and CODType must also be provided in the request.
Dry Ice: Indicates that the shipment contains dry ice. This might affect the shipping rates and service availability. When this service is requested (i.e., when the corresponding Dry Ice flag is contained in the ShipmentSpecialServices), then the DryIceCount and PackageDryIceWeight are required to be specified in the request (shipment level).
Event Notification: Indicates that event notification is requested. This might affect the service availability.
Hold At Location: This is applicable for FedEx Express services only. Indicates that the FedEx shipment is to be held at the destination FedEx location for pickup by the recipient. The request of this special service might affect the shipping rates and/or service availability. This service is not valid with the Hold Saturday service, and when the Residential flag is set in AddressFlags (i.e., for residential delivery). When this service is requested (i.e., when the corresponding Hold At Location flag is contained in the ShipmentSpecialServices), then the HoldAtLocation is required to be provided in the request as well.
Home Delivery: Indicates that the Home Delivery Premium special service is requested. This is applicable for residential delivery only (i.e., when this is present in the request, the Residential flag in AddressFlags is automatically set in the request). If ServiceType is set to GROUND HOME DELIVERY, the corresponding flag of Home Delivery is automatically added to the ShipmentSpecialServices. In this case, the HomeDeliveryDate, HomeDeliveryPhone, and HomeDeliveryType properties are required to be provided in the request as well. This property is applicable for FedEx Ground services only.
Inside Delivery: Indicates that inside delivery service is requested. In this case, FedEx may move shipments to positions beyond the adjacent loading area. In doing so, FedEx will assess an inside delivery charge in addition to all other applicable charges. The adjacent loading area is defined as a delivery site that is directly accessible from the curb and is no more than 50 feet inside the outermost door. FedEx will assess an inside delivery charge when shipment breakdown is necessary to fit a shipment through a doorway. FedEx does not provide piece count or piece verification when a breakdown of a freight shipment occurs at the delivery site. Current FedEx surcharge for this option: US$0.0412 per lb./$0.0908 per kg (US$60 minimum).
Inside Pickup: Indicates that inside pickup service is requested. In this case, FedEx may move shipments from positions beyond the adjacent loading area. In doing so, FedEx will assess an inside pickup charge in addition to all other applicable charges. The adjacent loading area is defined as a pickup site that is directly accessible from the curb and is no more than 50 feet inside the outermost door. Current FedEx surcharge for this option: US$0.0412 per lb./$0.0908 per kg (US$60 minimum).
Return Shipment: Indicates that this shipment is a return one. This might affect the shipping rates and/or service availability.
Saturday Delivery: Indicates that you request to have the shipment delivered on a Saturday. Saturday delivery service is available for an additional charge depending on the package service type and origin/destination pair. This service is available for: FedEx Priority Overnight, FedEx 2day, FedEx International Priority, FedEx 1Day Freight, and FedEx 2Day Freight. The rates and service availability depend on the ship date specified in the request. If the ship date falls on Thursday or Friday and you want Saturday delivery, the ground option and some express option will not be valid.
Saturday Pickup: Indicates that you request to have the shipment picked up on a Saturday. Saturday pickup service is available for an additional charge depending on the package service type and origin/destination pair. This service is available for: FedEx Priority Overnight, FedEx 2day, FedEx International Priority, FedEx 1Day Freight, and FedEx 2Day Freight. The rates and service availability depend on the ship date specified in the request. If the ship date falls on week day other than Saturday and you want Saturday pickup, the ground option and some express option will not be valid.
ThirdParty Consignee: Indicates that the third party special service is requested. This is applicable to domestic shipments only. This might affect the shipping rates and/or service availability.
Broker Select: Indicates that the broker select special service is requested. When shipping internationally, the customer might want to have their own broker to deal with the delivery (for customs purposes). To request such service, the BrokerSelect option should be set in the ShipmentSpecialServices value. This allows you to designate a specific customs broker other than FedEx (or a FedEx designated broker). This is applicable to the following international FedEx services:
- stFedExInternationalPriority (20)
- stFedExInternationalEconomy (21)
- stFedExInternationalPriorityFreight (23)
- stFedExInternationalEconomyFreight (24)
- stFedExInternationalPriorityExpress (32)
- stFedExInternationalConnectPlus (33)
FedEx International Broker Select is a contract service. Before you begin using FedEx International Broker Select (BSO), you must contact your FedEx account executive to be enrolled for this service. An additional routing surcharge applies to your BSO shipments if you choose to have FedEx complete delivery after customs clearance and if your recipient and customs broker are served by different FedEx clearance points. This service is not valid with SaturdayPickup/SaturdayDelivery services. When this service is requested, then the ClearanceBrokerageType, BrokerType, BrokerContact, and BrokerAddress are required to be provided in the ship request as well.
Note: Certain customs limitations may apply for BSO shipments. Contact FedEx Express International customer service at 1.800.247.4747 for requirements.
East Coast Special: Indicates that East Coast special service is requested. This is applicable to domestic shipments only. This might affect the shipping rates and/or service availability.

SSLAcceptServerCert Property (FedExRates Component)

Instructs the component to unconditionally accept the server certificate that matches the supplied certificate.

Syntax

C#
VB.NET

public Certificate SSLAcceptServerCert { get; set; }

Public Property SSLAcceptServerCert As Certificate

Remarks

If it finds any issues with the certificate presented by the server, the component will normally terminate the connection with an error.

You may override this behavior by supplying a value for SSLAcceptServerCert. If the certificate supplied in SSLAcceptServerCert is the same as the certificate presented by the server, then the server certificate is accepted unconditionally, and the connection will continue normally.

Please note that this functionality is provided only for cases where you otherwise know that you are communicating with the right server. If used improperly, this property may create a security breach. Use it at your own risk.

Please refer to the Certificate type for a complete list of fields.

SSLCert Property (FedExRates Component)

The certificate to be used during SSL negotiation.

Syntax

C#
VB.NET

public Certificate SSLCert { get; set; }

Public Property SSLCert As Certificate

Remarks

The digital certificate that the component will use during SSL negotiation. Set this property to a valid certificate before starting SSL negotiation. To set a certificate, you may set the Encoded field to the encoded certificate. To select a certificate, use the store and subject fields.

Please refer to the Certificate type for a complete list of fields.

SSLProvider Property (FedExRates Component)

This specifies the SSL/TLS implementation to use.

Syntax

C#
VB.NET

public FedexratesSSLProviders SSLProvider { get; set; }

enum FedexratesSSLProviders {
  sslpAutomatic,
  sslpPlatform,
  sslpInternal
}

Public Property SSLProvider As FedexratesSSLProviders

Enum FedexratesSSLProviders
  sslpAutomatic
  sslpPlatform
  sslpInternal
End Enum

Default Value

Remarks

This property specifies the SSL/TLS implementation to use. In most cases the default value of 0 (Automatic) is recommended and should not be changed. When set to 0 (Automatic) the component will select whether to use the platform implementation or the internal implementation depending on the operating system as well as the TLS version being used.

Possible values are:


0 (sslpAutomatic - default)	Automatically selects the appropriate implementation.
1 (sslpPlatform)	Uses the platform/system implementation.
2 (sslpInternal)	Uses the internal implementation.

Additional Notes

In most cases using the default value (Automatic) is recommended. The component will select a provider depending on the current platform.

When Automatic is selected, on Windows the component will use the platform implementation. On Linux/macOS the component will use the internal implementation. When TLS 1.3 is enabled via SSLEnabledProtocols the internal implementation is used on all platforms.

The .NET Standard library will always use the internal implementation on all platforms.

SSLServerCert Property (FedExRates Component)

The server certificate for the last established connection.

Syntax

C#
VB.NET

public Certificate SSLServerCert { get; }

Public ReadOnly Property SSLServerCert As Certificate

Remarks

SSLServerCert contains the server certificate for the last established connection.

SSLServerCert is reset every time a new connection is attempted.

This property is read-only.

Please refer to the Certificate type for a complete list of fields.

Timeout Property (FedExRates Component)

A timeout for the component.

Syntax

C#
VB.NET

public int Timeout { get; set; }

Public Property Timeout As Integer

Default Value

Remarks

If the Timeout property is set to 0, all operations will run uninterrupted until successful completion or an error condition is encountered.

If Timeout is set to a positive value, the component will wait for the operation to complete before returning control.

The component will use DoEvents to enter an efficient wait loop during any potential waiting period, making sure that all system events are processed immediately as they arrive. This ensures that the host application does not "freeze" and remains responsive.

If Timeout expires, and the operation is not yet complete, the component throws an exception.

Please note that by default, all timeouts are inactivity timeouts, i.e. the timeout period is extended by Timeout seconds when any amount of data is successfully sent or received.

The default value for the Timeout property is 60 seconds.

TotalWeight Property (FedExRates Component)

The total weight of all the pieces in this shipment.

Syntax

C#
VB.NET

public string TotalWeight { get; set; }

Public Property TotalWeight As String

Default Value

Remarks

This property is required when submitting a rate request by calling GetRates method. It requires one explicit decimal position (i.e. N.N formatting, example 5.0) and has a maximum length of 12 including the decimal.

Config Method (FedExRates Component)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

C#
VB.NET

public string Config(string configurationString);

Public Function Config(ByVal ConfigurationString As String) As String

Remarks

Config is a generic method available in every component. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the component.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the component, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.

GetRates Method (FedExRates Component)

Returns rate information for a specified or all available FedEx services.

Syntax

C#
VB.NET

public void GetRates();

Public Sub GetRates()

Remarks

To get the courtesy rate quotes for FedEx services, you can call the GetRates method. If the rates are needed for a specific service type, you will have to pass a value of the RequestedService (other than 'UNSPECIFIED') in the request. The RequestedService identifies the FedEx service for which you want to retrieve rate information. If the rates are wanted for all available FedEx services, you should not set a value to RequestedService before sending the request to the FedEx Server. It will default to 'UNSPECIFIED').

In either case, the following properties or config settings are sent in the request (if any of these have not been set, their default values will be used instead):

AuthorizationToken (required)
Server (optional)
AccountNumber (required)
RateType (required)
ShipDate (optional)
PackagingType (required)
SenderAddress (required)
RecipientAddress (required)
TotalWeight (required)
InsuredValue (optional)
Packages (required)
ShipmentSpecialServices that can affect rates and/or service availability (such as COD, Saturday Pickup, Saturday Delivery, Hold At Location, Dry Ice, etc.) (optional)

Regarding the Packages, please note the following:

when requesting rates for all available services (RequestedService set to 'UNSPECIFIED'), only one package should be added to this collection even for MPS. When rating MPS, just specify the Packages and the details for one package only. FedEx will consider all packages the same;
when requesting rates for a specific service (RequestedService set to a value other than 'UNSPECIFIED'), you will have to add as many packages as there are in the MPS specifying the package detail for each package included in the shipment.

In each above mentioned cases, if there are no packages added and specified (Packages = null), the component will throw an error.

Upon a successful response, the Services property gets populated.

If there is a problem with any of the input values within the request, the response will either raise an error (when it's an hard error) and transaction will fail, or give a warning (when it's a soft error), which can be accessed via Warning, and the transaction will go through.

For more details on errors codes and descriptions, please refer to the Error Codes section.

Reset Method (FedExRates Component)

Resets the internal state of the component and all properties to their default values.

Syntax

C#
VB.NET

public void Reset();

Public Sub Reset()

Remarks

The Reset method does not have any parameters and does not return any value.

Error Event (FedExRates Component)

Information about errors during data delivery.

Syntax

C#
VB.NET

public event OnErrorHandler OnError;

public delegate void OnErrorHandler(object sender, FedexratesErrorEventArgs e);

public class FedexratesErrorEventArgs : EventArgs {
  public int ErrorCode { get; }
  public string Description { get; }
}

Public Event OnError As OnErrorHandler

Public Delegate Sub OnErrorHandler(sender As Object, e As FedexratesErrorEventArgs)

Public Class FedexratesErrorEventArgs Inherits EventArgs
  Public ReadOnly Property ErrorCode As Integer
  Public ReadOnly Property Description As String
End Class

Remarks

The Error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing.

ErrorCode contains an error code and Description contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the Error Codes section.

Notification Event (FedExRates Component)

Notification returned by the server upon successful request (if applicable).

Syntax

C#
VB.NET

public event OnNotificationHandler OnNotification;

public delegate void OnNotificationHandler(object sender, FedexratesNotificationEventArgs e);

public class FedexratesNotificationEventArgs : EventArgs {
  public string Message { get; }
}

Public Event OnNotification As OnNotificationHandler

Public Delegate Sub OnNotificationHandler(sender As Object, e As FedexratesNotificationEventArgs)

Public Class FedexratesNotificationEventArgs Inherits EventArgs
  Public ReadOnly Property Message As String
End Class

Remarks

When sending a request, the server may return with a successful reply or an error. However, even when a transaction is successful, a warning or a note might still be returned by the server. In such cases, the Notification event is fired.

Notifications returned through this event are non-fatal and shipments will still be processes, labels will still be printable, rates are still returned, etc. These notifications should be treated as informational only.

SSLServerAuthentication Event (FedExRates Component)

Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.

Syntax

C#
VB.NET

public event OnSSLServerAuthenticationHandler OnSSLServerAuthentication;

public delegate void OnSSLServerAuthenticationHandler(object sender, FedexratesSSLServerAuthenticationEventArgs e);

public class FedexratesSSLServerAuthenticationEventArgs : EventArgs {
  public string CertEncoded { get; }
  public byte[] CertEncodedB { get; }
  public string CertSubject { get; }
  public string CertIssuer { get; }
  public string Status { get; }
  public bool Accept { get; set; }
}

Public Event OnSSLServerAuthentication As OnSSLServerAuthenticationHandler

Public Delegate Sub OnSSLServerAuthenticationHandler(sender As Object, e As FedexratesSSLServerAuthenticationEventArgs)

Public Class FedexratesSSLServerAuthenticationEventArgs Inherits EventArgs
  Public ReadOnly Property CertEncoded As String
  Public ReadOnly Property CertEncodedB As Byte()
  Public ReadOnly Property CertSubject As String
  Public ReadOnly Property CertIssuer As String
  Public ReadOnly Property Status As String
  Public Property Accept As Boolean
End Class

Remarks

During this event, the client can decide whether or not to continue with the connection process. The Accept parameter is a recommendation on whether to continue or close the connection. This is just a suggestion: application software must use its own logic to determine whether or not to continue.

When Accept is False, Status shows why the verification failed (otherwise, Status contains the string OK). If it is decided to continue, you can override and accept the certificate by setting the Accept parameter to True.

SSLStatus Event (FedExRates Component)

Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.

Syntax

C#
VB.NET

public event OnSSLStatusHandler OnSSLStatus;

public delegate void OnSSLStatusHandler(object sender, FedexratesSSLStatusEventArgs e);

public class FedexratesSSLStatusEventArgs : EventArgs {
  public string Message { get; }
}

Public Event OnSSLStatus As OnSSLStatusHandler

Public Delegate Sub OnSSLStatusHandler(sender As Object, e As FedexratesSSLStatusEventArgs)

Public Class FedexratesSSLStatusEventArgs Inherits EventArgs
  Public ReadOnly Property Message As String
End Class

Remarks

The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. This event tracks the progress of the connection.

CertStoreTypes
Default Value: 0

This is the type of certificate store for this certificate.

The component supports both public and private keys in a variety of formats. When the cstAuto value is used, the component will automatically determine the type. This field can take one of the following values:


0 (cstUser - default)	For Windows, this specifies that the certificate store is a certificate store owned by the current user. Note: This store type is not available in Java.
1 (cstMachine)	For Windows, this specifies that the certificate store is a machine store. Note: This store type is not available in Java.
2 (cstPFXFile)	The certificate store is the name of a PFX (PKCS#12) file containing certificates.
3 (cstPFXBlob)	The certificate store is a string (binary or Base64-encoded) representing a certificate store in PFX (PKCS#12) format.
4 (cstJKSFile)	The certificate store is the name of a Java Key Store (JKS) file containing certificates. Note: This store type is only available in Java.
5 (cstJKSBlob)	The certificate store is a string (binary or Base64-encoded) representing a certificate store in Java Key Store (JKS) format. Note: this store type is only available in Java.
6 (cstPEMKeyFile)	The certificate store is the name of a PEM-encoded file that contains a private key and an optional certificate.
7 (cstPEMKeyBlob)	The certificate store is a string (binary or Base64-encoded) that contains a private key and an optional certificate.
8 (cstPublicKeyFile)	The certificate store is the name of a file that contains a PEM- or DER-encoded public key certificate.
9 (cstPublicKeyBlob)	The certificate store is a string (binary or Base64-encoded) that contains a PEM- or DER-encoded public key certificate.

23 (cstPKCS11)	The certificate is present on a physical security key accessible via a PKCS#11 interface. To use a security key, the necessary data must first be collected using the CertMgr component. The ListStoreCertificates method may be called after setting CertStoreType to `cstPKCS11`, CertStorePassword to the PIN, and CertStore to the full path of the PKCS#11 DLL. The certificate information returned in the CertList event's `CertEncoded` parameter may be saved for later use. When using a certificate, pass the previously saved security key information as the Store and set StorePassword to the PIN. Code Example. SSH Authentication with Security Key: `certmgr.CertStoreType = CertStoreTypes.cstPKCS11; certmgr.OnCertList += (s, e) => { secKeyBlob = e.CertEncoded; }; certmgr.CertStore = @"C:\Program Files\OpenSC Project\OpenSC\pkcs11\opensc-pkcs11.dll"; certmgr.CertStorePassword = "123456"; //PIN certmgr.ListStoreCertificates(); sftp.SSHCert = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPKCS11, secKeyBlob, "123456", "*"); sftp.SSHUser = "test"; sftp.SSHLogon("myhost", 22);`

The fields contained by this type are listed below.

Fields

BaseCharge
string (read-only)
Default Value: ""

Actual Base Charge applicable to this package.

For FedEx, this is normally specific to the AccountNumber. It is used in the FedExShip and FedExShipIntl only. When this is used, please note that for MPS the FedEx server provides the rating information in two different ways for domestic and international shipments.

In MPS domestic shipments, the rating information is available on the package level. In this case, the fields that store the rating information: BaseCharge, NetCharge, TotalSurcharges, and TotalDiscount, indicate the rate for that particular package.

While in MPS international shipments, the rating information is available on shipment level only and it is returned in the last package response. That being said, please note that: for all packages with index=0 to PackageCount - 2, the fields that store the rating information will be set to 'N/A', and in the last package (at index=PackageCount - 1, these fields will contain the rate for the whole shipment.

For UPS, this is the "transportation charge - fuel surcharge" applicable to this package. Upon a successful response, this is returned in the server reply for each package included in the shipment if SubVersion is 1701 or greater.

This is not applicable to USPS.

For Canada Post, upon a successful response, this is returned in the server reply for the package requested.

CODAmount
string
Default Value: ""

The COD monetary value for the package.

For FedEx, this is applicable and required for Ground shipments only. If the shipment is using COD special service (i.e., the ShipmentSpecialServices is set to the corresponding value of COD), then the COD amount should be specified on package level for all packages that are going to use COD. If this is set, then the package will be considered as using the COD service.

Since Ground packages do not travel together and may be delivered at different times, you should add the value for the individual packages to be collected. On MPS Ground shipments, a COD return label will be generated for each package that uses COD service (stored in CODLabel).

On COD Express shipments, the COD amount should be specified on shipment level and the CODTotalAmount is required instead.

For UPS, if the CODAmount is set to a value other than "0.00", it indicates that COD special service is requested for that package. The collection type should be specified in the request via the CODType. COD special service is not valid for return service movements. Package level COD is available for shipment from US/PR to US/PR, CA to CA, and CA to US. COD service for shipment from CA to US is not allowed for PackagingType Letter/Envelope. COD special service is available for shipper's with PickupType 'Daily Pickup' or 'Drop Shipping'. Delivery Confirmation (represented by SignatureType) and COD cannot coexist on a single package.

This field is not applicable to USPS packages.

Format: Two explicit decimal positions (e.g. 100.00).

This is not applicable for Canada Post.

CODFile
string
Default Value: ""

Filename and location to save the CODLabel of this package to. This is applicable for package(s) that use the COD service.

When the CODFile is set to a valid path and filename, the contents of the CODLabel are written to disk when either the GetPackageLabel or GetShipmentLabels method is called.

This filename should have the same extension defined by LabelImageType (for example, if LabelImageType is set to PDF, then CODFile has to have .pdf extension).

If the filename exists, you can choose to overwrite it or not by setting the Overwrite config setting (which defaults to True).

This field is only applicable to FedEx shipments.

CODLabel
string (read-only)
Default Value: ""

Image of the COD return label for this package retrieved by FedEx Server upon a successful COD ship request.

This is the decoded binary image file of the COD return label, stored in memory when either the GetPackageLabel or the GetShipmentLabels method is called. The kind of label data returned depends on the label formatting specified in your ship request via LabelImageType. If you requested a PNG label, the data returned will be a PNG file. If you requested a thermal label, it will be a thermal label image. If the CODFile is set to a valid path and filename, the label is also saved to disk in a LabelImageType format.

Since MPS Ground packages do not travel together and may be delivered at different times, a CODLabel return label will be generated for each package that uses COD service.

On MPS Express packages, only one COD label will be generated and this will be returned on the last package of the MPS.

This field is only applicable to FedEx.

CODLabelB
byte [] (read-only)

SignatureType
TSignatureTypes
Default Value: 0

Specifies one of the Delivery Signature Options requested for this package. Possible values are:

For FedEx Express shipments, the NoSignatureRequired option will not be allowed when the following special services are requested: Alcohol, Hold At Location or Dangerous Goods.

For residential FedEx Ground International shipments from Canada to the U.S., two valid signature options are allowed: NoSignatureRequired and Direct.

The impact of signature options fees may vary depending on your agreement with FedEx. Following are the definitions for FedEx:

Service Default: In this case, the appropriate signature option will be selected for your shipping service. For example, if the package contains Dangerous Goods, the Direct signature option is chosen for you. The actual signature option applied to this package could be different than the signature option requested if a conflict occurred with other service features in the package. In this case, the value set in the request will be ignored.
Indirect Signature Required: Indicates that an indirect signature is required upon delivery. This is allowed to residential addresses only. In this case, FedEx obtains a signature in one of three ways: from any person at the delivery address, from a neighbor, building manager, or other person at a neighboring address. The recipient can sign a FedEx door tag authorizing release of the package without anyone present. This might affect the shipping rates and/or service availability.
Direct Signature Required: Indicates that a direct signature is required upon delivery. In this case, FedEx obtains a signature from any person at the delivery address. If no one is at the address, FedEx will reattempt delivery; Direct Signature Required overrides any recipient release that may be on file for deliveries to nonresidential addresses. This option is not available for Hold at FedEx Location shipments. This might affect the shipping rates and/or service availability.
Adult Signature Required: Indicates that the adult signature is required upon delivery. In this case, FedEx obtains a signature from any person at least 21 years old (government-issued photo identification required) at the delivery address. If no one is at the address, FedEx will reattempt delivery. Adult Signature Required overrides any recipient release that may be on file for deliveries to nonresidential addresses. This might affect the shipping rates and/or service availability.

Note: In the server reply, this option may differ from that requested value due to other characteristics of the shipment.

For UPS, when delivery confirmation is requested for a package, the SignatureType should be set to a value other than 0 (stServiceDefault). The availability of this special service depends on the ServiceType. The type stIndirect is not valid for UPS packages.

Also, when using UPS Mail Innovations, delivery confirmation can be requested by setting this to stUSPSDeliveryConfirmation.

Delivery Confirmation and COD cannot coexist on a single package. Also, Delivery Confirmation option cannot be combined with the Return Services option.

For USPS, if this is not set to stServiceDefault or stNoSignatureRequired, the Signature Confirmation service will be used. Also, for Express label shipments, set this to stNoSignatureRequired to waive the signature requirements.

This does not apply for Canada Post.

For UPS, this is required to be provided in the request for each package contained in the shipment if PackagingType is set to a value other than 0 (UPS Letter). For Ground shipments, if the actual weight is less than 150 pounds, then the billable weight is 150 pounds. Air and 3 Day Select shipments will not be subject to a minimum billable weight. Format: it requires one explicit decimal position in pounds or kilograms, depending on the value of the WeightUnit config, (i.e. N.N formatting).

Note that if the ServiceType stUPSSurePostLessThan1LB or stUPSFirstClassMail is used, or the ServiceType stUPSExpeditedMailInovations is used with the PackagingType ptMachineables, ptIrregulars, or ptStandardFlat then the weight must be specified in ounces. The WeightUnit config will be set automatically to "OZS" if not set.

For USPS, this must be the weight in pounds and ounces of the package. Package weight cannot exceed 70 pounds. (First-Class Mail cannot exceed 13 ounces. Bound Printed Matter cannot exceed 15 pounds). On international shipments, weight limits vary by country.

The format must be in "N lbs N oz", or as an integer showing the number of ounces. For example, a package with weight 6 lbs, 8 oz can be specified as "6 lbs 8 oz" or as "104".

However, in USPS, if PostageProvider is set to ppEndicia, then the format must be one explicit decimal position in ounces (i.e. N.N formatting).

For Canada Post, the weight of the parcel should be specified in kilograms (e.g. 99.999).

Width
int
Default Value: 0

The width of the package to be shipped.

For FedEx, the Width is optional, but recommended, if "Your Packaging" is used as PackagingType. This is required if Length and Height are provided in the request. It is also required if a FedEx Express heavyweight service is selected for the shipment.

For UPS, this is the width of the package used to determine dimensional weight and therefore is recommended for all shipments.

It is required for GB to GB, and Poland to Poland shipments, and for 'Pallete' packaging type. For UPS packaging types: the length, width and height are defaulted.

Length + 2*(Width+Height) must be less than or equal to 130 IN or 330 CM. When Width is provided in the request, then all other dimensions (Length and Height) are to be set as well.

For USPS, this is only required if the package is irregular and the PackagingType field is set to ptNonRectangular. (In this case Width and Height must still be set).

Note that the Length, Width, and Height are required for Priority Mail packages when the Size is set to psLarge.

Note also that this applies to Endicia shipping label requests.

For Canada Post, this field should be set to the second longest dimension (3.1 digits e.g. 999.9 pattern).

Proxy Type

The proxy the component will connect to.

Remarks

When connecting through a proxy, this type is used to specify different properties of the proxy, such as the Server and the AuthScheme.

Fields

AuthScheme
ProxyAuthSchemes
Default Value: 0

This field is used to tell the component which type of authorization to perform when connecting to the proxy. This is used only when the User and Password fields are set.

AuthScheme should be set to authNone (3) when no authentication is expected.

By default, AuthScheme is authBasic (0), and if the User and Password fields are set, the component will attempt basic authentication.

If AuthScheme is set to authDigest (1), digest authentication will be attempted instead.

If AuthScheme is set to authProprietary (2), then the authorization token will not be generated by the component. Look at the configuration file for the component being used to find more information about manually setting this token.

If AuthScheme is set to authNtlm (4), NTLM authentication will be used.

For security reasons, setting this field will clear the values of User and Password.

AutoDetect
bool
Default Value: False

This field tells the component whether or not to automatically detect and use proxy system settings, if available. The default value is false.

Password
string
Default Value: ""

This field contains a password if authentication is to be used for the proxy.

If AuthScheme is set to Basic Authentication, the User and Password are Base64 encoded and the proxy authentication token will be generated in the form Basic [encoded-user-password].

If AuthScheme is set to Digest Authentication, the User and Password fields are used to respond to the Digest Authentication challenge from the server.

If AuthScheme is set to NTLM Authentication, the User and Password fields are used to authenticate through NTLM negotiation.

Port
int
Default Value: 80

This field contains the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) port for the proxy Server (default 80). See the description of the Server field for details.

Server
string
Default Value: ""

If a proxy Server is given, then the HTTP request is sent to the proxy instead of the server otherwise specified.

If the Server field is set to a domain name, a DNS request is initiated. Upon successful termination of the request, the Server field is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, an error is returned.

SSL
ProxySSLTypes
Default Value: 0

This field determines when to use a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for the connection to the proxy. The applicable values are as follows:


psAutomatic (0)	Default setting. If the URL is an `https` URL, the component will use the `psTunnel` option. If the URL is an `http` URL, the component will use the `psNever` option.
psAlways (1)	The connection is always SSL enabled.
psNever (2)	The connection is not SSL enabled.
psTunnel (3)	The connection is made through a tunneling (HTTP) proxy.

User
string
Default Value: ""

This field contains a username if authentication is to be used for the proxy.

If AuthScheme is set to Basic Authentication, the User and Password fields are Base64 encoded and the proxy authentication token will be generated in the form Basic [encoded-user-password].

If AuthScheme is set to Digest Authentication, the User and Password fields are used to respond to the Digest Authentication challenge from the server.

If AuthScheme is set to NTLM Authentication, the User and Password fields are used to authenticate through NTLM negotiation.

This specifies the number of packages in the shipment which contain dry ice. This is used in conjunction with PackageDryIceWeight when DryIce is present (requested) in the ShipmentSpecialServices.

EstimateDelivery: Determines if component will attempt to estimate the Transit Time, Delivery Date, and Delivery Day.

If True (default), the component will attempt to estimate Transit Time, Delivery Date, and/or Delivery Day based on what information came back in the response. This does not account for non-business days, holidays, or weekend delivery and should be treated accordingly.

If False, the component will not estimate Transit Time, Delivery Date, and/or Delivery Day. Instead it will ONLY use the values returned in the response from FedEx. If a property is empty, it means that FedEx did not return this information.

FreightAccountNumber: Account number used with the FedEx Freight service.

This is the account number to be used with a freight shipment. This is required when submitting a freight shipment.
