Do you provide any installation support? If so, how much does it cost?
Posted by Louis on October 26, 2009 at 6:36 pm
Yes I do. I charge 1billable hour to complete the installation. I only ask that you perform your own backups prior to the installation. I can either perform the installation myself (if given access) or, I can walk you through the installation over the phone.

Is there any demo available?
Posted by Louis on November 4, 2009 at 8:23 pm
I should have a demo available by the end of the weekend.
Posted by Louis on November 6, 2009 at 4:12 am
I setup up a demo using Magento’s sample store data. Please see above for the links to the demo.

Looks like a great answer a much needed module!
Couple of questions:
1- Does the rate always assume commercial delivery or could there be an option to request residential delivery rate?
2- We’d be interested in a FedEx National version because we ship an equal amount of long-haul as shorter runs and FedEx National has much better rates on long haul
Posted by Louis on November 6, 2009 at 9:24 pm
Josh, it always assumes commercial delivery. It appears FedEx tacks on an additional $80 when the shipment is delivered to a to a residential address. Within the module, you have the option to stack additional charges (but this would be global to all freight rate requests).
If there is enough interest, I can provide the residential delivery option as an second shipping option. You would then end up with two shipping rates (residential and commercial).
Also, I’m currently working on a National LTL module. It should be available within the next few weeks.
Posted by Louis on November 16, 2009 at 1:48 pm
v1.2.0 has been released which adds many additional features. For details, see https://zmodulez.wordpress.com/2009/11/12/magento-freight-modules-version-1-2-0-is-released.
Also, the FedEx National LTL extension is now available. See https://zmodulez.wordpress.com/magento-fedex-national-ltl-shipping-extension.

does your extension publish fedex base rates or custom rates? we get fedex freight discount can your extension take care of the discount?
Posted by Louis on December 11, 2009 at 1:57 pm
Yes it does. You can enter in your your fedex account number within the extension’s configuration. Fedex will use your account number during the rate request (and the discount will be applied).

I am looking to purchase one of your extensions, but not sure which one to purchase? What is the difference between FedEx National LTL and FedEx Freight? We will need to send shipments via Truck throughout the United States and Canada.
Posted by Louis on May 11, 2010 at 12:21 am
FedEx purchased Watkins Motor Lines (a very large freight shipper) and re-branded it to FedEx National LTL. This brand is separate from their existing FedEx freight and so the rates and delivery times are different. Typically, FedEx Freight has faster transit times whereas FedEx LTL has cheaper rates.
Posted by railengineer on December 30, 2009 at 7:22 pm
Yeah it works! After years of trying to get realtime fedex freight shipping on Network Solutions I finally have something that works, glad to be done with NS, I like magento much better,
thanks for the module Louis!
now for Fedex national,
so when can we expect a UPS Freight Module?
what about Old Dominion, Estes, Yellow Roadway, Conway, ha, UPS would be nice though to give some comparative shipping options,
Posted by Louis on January 5, 2010 at 12:04 pm
Thank you for the great feedback!
I do plan to work on a UPS Freight Module as there seems to be a lot of interest for it. Stayed tuned…
Posted by Shane on January 20, 2010 at 3:26 pm
Thank you so much for this!! I plan on purchasing one of your FedEx Freight Modules but I’m not exactly sure which on I need yet. My question is do either of these modules handle liftgate options? I would like to be able to allow the customer the choice of liftgate or no liftgate rate quotes. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Posted by Louis on January 21, 2010 at 12:52 am
Shane,
Unfortunately, the current the extension will not provide a liftgate quote.
You can try to make use of the ‘handling fee’ fields to put in a flat quote, but this not be very accurate as FedEx calculates their liftgate charge based off the weight of the shipment.
“When FedEx Freight or FedEx National LTL provides liftgate service, the charge will be $5.15 per cwt, subject to a minimum charge of $76.00 and a maximum charge of $251.00.”
If you need more details or are interested in having this option added to the existing extension, please get in touch with me via email.
Posted by Jim E on February 5, 2010 at 5:31 pm
Just wondering if you had any plans to develop a Yellow Freight extension.
Posted by Louis on February 5, 2010 at 11:47 pm
Jim,
No, not at this time. If you want, send me some information concerning Yellow Freight and I’ll see if I can work into my schedule.
Posted by Jeremy on March 1, 2010 at 9:52 pm
Louis,
You are doing a very good thing with these freight shipping integration extensions. You should be getting paid by UPS, FedEx, etc for all of your work helping them get business.
The UPS freight integration XML is ridiculously complex and I consider myself a pretty saavy web guy. I’m not a programmer, but I have set up my entire Magneto store on my own. There are so many hoops to jump through and no one to talk to. At this point, I’ve given up on getting the UPS XML tools to work with Magento, although it appears Magento would work with the UPS XML if I could ever figure it out.
Anyway, should I wait to buy a UPS freight extension when you develop one, or just set up a FedEx account and go with that extension? I need my site to product freight quotes pretty soon, since I’m losing money as we speak.
Thanks,
Jeremy
Posted by Louis on March 2, 2010 at 2:13 am
Hi Jeremy,
Yes, I agree about the complexity of the UPS freight integration. I have the xml service working outside of Magento, but I am still a ways a way from getting it work from within Magento. I recommend going with the FedEx Freight or FedeEx LTL extensions.

Is this extension tested on 1.4? I should have checked prior to purchase but it doesnt appear as if Magento is seeing the extension when enabled.
Adam
Posted by Louis on April 6, 2010 at 9:30 pm
This extension has not yet been tested on version 1.4. By the end of this week, I will have tested the extension (and will have a compatible version if necessary).
Posted by Adam on April 6, 2010 at 9:57 pm
Thanks Louis I look forward it,
Thanks
Adam
Posted by Louis on April 8, 2010 at 1:56 am
I just did a fresh install of version 1.4.0.1 and successfully tested the extension.
Posted by Jeffrey on April 22, 2010 at 4:11 pm
Greetings Louis:
We also just finished purchasing your fed Ex Freight Extension, and reading the above posts, confirmed that you have refreshed the extension for v.1.4.
However, in that we have a project that we have been building over the last few months in v.1.3, we want to confirm that the extension has similarly been refreshed for v.1.3, as we care currently working in v 1.3.2.4.
Many thanks and we look forward to your reply!
Best Regards, Jeffrey
Posted by Louis on April 22, 2010 at 4:41 pm
The current version of the extension will work for both v1.3 and v1.4.

Hello, is this module still for sale? Wasn’t sure as the site wasn’t working properly. In any case I took the liberty of fixing your magento installation to enable the products. The categories were setup incorrectly and no products were available. Do you have a UPS module that fetches rates based on weight and box dimension LxHxW?
Posted by Louis on June 21, 2010 at 11:57 am
The module is still for sale. Can you let me know what was not working with the site?
I have been working on a UPS module however I was not going to take the dimensions into consideration. I will however look into it.
Posted by Mar on July 20, 2010 at 10:08 pm
I just tested the store demo with 10 of the computers @ 250 lbs each. The freight estimate was $9,408.32. Seems a bit steep.
Posted by Louis on July 21, 2010 at 12:15 am
I updated the configuration and the problem is resolved. Take another look when you have and minute.
Thanks,
Louis
Posted by Adrian on September 1, 2010 at 5:33 pm
Hi we need to know who to install your extension in our website please.
Posted by Louis on September 1, 2010 at 5:55 pm
I can do the install for you. You just need to supply me with a temporary ftp account and access to your admin screen. Also, I recommend you first perform a backup (as with the installation of any Magento module).
I charge one billable hour for the work.
Posted by Adrian on September 18, 2010 at 7:39 pm
Hi, could you sent to us any e-mail address, to send to you our ftp account, please we need help with that.
I will wait your repsonse.
Best regards.
Posted by Louis on September 18, 2010 at 8:12 pm
Okay, so you are interested with me helping you install the fedex freight extension, right? If, so you will need to supply with me with: 1. ftp access 2. your magento admin access
Once I receive payment for 1 hour of consulting, I’ll begin working on the install soon after. You can add the consulting to your cart at:
If for some reason I cannot get the extension working, I will refund you both the consulting fee + the cost of the module.
You can send your info to: sales@zmodulez.com
Thanks, Louis
Posted by Mario A. on January 19, 2011 at 7:06 pm
is it possible to configure magento with the fedex freight module to be available only when a customer orders a certain weight? I’m also gonna have fedex express and I don’t want my clients to have to option of shipping freight if they don’t meet the weight requirement.
Posted by Louis on January 19, 2011 at 7:23 pm
Yes. The freight extension has a min weight setting while. As an example, you can set the min weight to 75lb so that Magento will only display this extension when the order weight exceeds 75lbs.
Posted by hosting peru on January 28, 2011 at 7:43 pm
works on magento 1.4.2.0 ?
Posted by Louis on January 28, 2011 at 7:50 pm
Yes, it will work fine on 1.4.2.0.
Posted by Johnny D on April 27, 2011 at 2:35 pm
Hi Louis,
Will this work with enterprise edition? If so, what versions?
thanks!
john
Posted by Louis on November 10, 2011 at 4:47 pm
Yes – it has been confirmed to work with the enterprise edition.
Posted by Rhyn on August 28, 2011 at 9:15 pm
Hi,
Will this extension work with Magento 1.6.0.0? and will it work with a South African subsidiary Supaswift? (http://www.supaswift.co.za/SupaService/WebService/SupaTask.asmx)
Rhyn
Posted by Louis on August 29, 2011 at 4:49 pm
Yes, the extension will work with version 1.6. Unfortunately, FedEx’s freight xml service only applies to the US and Canada.
Posted by Ryan on November 10, 2011 at 6:28 pm
Finally purchased and installed this module. Louis provided excellent support throughout the entire process. The module is very light, doesn’t conflict with any of my other extensions, and is easily customizable to work perfectly into my site. Could not be more happy with how this went! (Magento Community 1.5.0.1)
Posted by Bill K. on September 22, 2015 at 7:36 pm
Is this extension still supported in Magento EE 1.14?
