Shipping Live Rates for FedEx for WooCommerce

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

160 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 88 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words).

   I needed to set up shipping for items always Free to lower 48, Local Pickups, and Paid shipping for heavy/oversized items. Plus shipping for AL, HI (paid). Including a Handling fee for signature/insurance. It was tricky, but Piotrek worked with me to get it right for USPS and FedEx. I was also able to show the customer which items were “Free” shipping and which were paid. I used the “Notice” plugin for those that require them to contact us. He had me set up a “staging” site, where he also had access, so we could keep tweaking it until it was correct. Top notch service. The time difference was a little frustrating, but we got it done in the end. Now it works Great! Very Happy.

   I think this is generally a better shipping rates plugin compared to what is out there. It just need a bit of polishing on the English side in terms of words used on the interface. They do try their best to fix any issue but I wish that they have more support across different time zone so it will be much quicker. On another point, do give discount like 50% for plugin renewal for returning customers.

   I would have gone with a different app if I had known it would take nearly a week of going back and forth to get this app set-up for a very simply shipping scenario. There is no real 1on1 support. Some of our products are heavy, so we need to use Freight. There are literally no support docs for fedex freight

   I could not get any live shipping quotes UNTIL I set the ZIP code in the WooCommerce store settings. After that, I started seeing all of the shipping options I enabled. This topic was modified 7 months, 1 week ago by jerome21z.

   Installed, connected and working in 10 minutes at the most – a far cry from some other shipping plugins I have used!

   Even though this is a free plugin, I am amazed by the support that was provided. Tomek was very helpful in ensuring all of our questions and concerns were addressed in a timely and efficient manner. Thank you!
