Hello,
I have been building my own app with the FedEx Direct Connect solution offered by FedEx in their Web Integration Solutions package. I have had moderate success, but the building is slow and at times, over my head.
With that said, I was wondering if there was a chance that you could implement their API solution on our servers that we may interface with it using some well documented (and easier) methods to implement FedEx shipping strategies on our sites. Has this been reviewed or can this be reviewed for installation?
Basically, I can ship, I can track, I can delete transactions on thier Direct test servers. I cannot print (nor save) shipping labels returned from their return tagged transaction code at my current knowledge level. From my understanding, the code is written in a manner so that break characters are replaced with hex code which must be parsed. This is beginning to become a headache since the only code examples I can find in their documentation is written in C++; not easily translated to VB.NET. 8( Beyond frustration I write this email. Thier own staff is hardly studied in their own Direct solution and has been little help since most folks just use he API solution.
Um, help?
