Carrier Information
Retailers would need to must provide Fenix with the necessary information about their current carriers. This The below information will be used when the rate shopping is performed.
Carriers and services used for rate shopping
Carrier Credentials (Preferred) - The credentials will be used to pull the real-time rates to perform the rate shopping. The rates pulled with these credentials will give rates, including the surcharges and taxes. Using carrier credentials, we’re able to get the most up-to-date surcharge information and minimize the variances.
Carrier Rate Cards (when carrier information is nor not available)
In cases where the retailers cannot give the carrier credentials, as a last resort, retailers should provide the rate cards and the average surcharges that can be applied on top of the base rate. This option can sometimes have a large discrepancy compared to the actual results, as the carrier surcharges can vary from week to weekweekly. Surcharges can sometimes account for up to 40% of the total shipping cost for each package.
