Fedex and estimated delivery dates

Has anyone modified PC so you can add at least one business day to the delivery dates shown using Fedex, basically add 1 day to the ship date passed to Fedex before they return their delivery dates in the ship array.

If I am checking out at 10PM EST, it shows a delivery date of the next day for overnight shipping which isn't possible, as Fedex doesn't usually pick up that late.

Is the ship date variable loaded prior to being sent to the encrypted Fedex code?

If so, I guess you could even code your own cutoff time and have it add a day to the ship date if it is passed 3PM say...

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Thanks for the reply.

I also have "intercepted" the returned shipping array and manipulated the data within, doing something very similar to what you mentioned with the Canada situation.

I was just wondering if anyone had found a way to cleanly just alter the ship date passed to the carriers outside of the encrypted code.

The way it shows the delivery dates now is a little misleading.

It would actually be a useful feature if you could put a shipment cutoff time in for a carrier and this could be used to calculate the ship date when requesting rates and therefore show more accurate data.

You could do this and manipulate the returned array, it just seems cleaner to originally pass the correct date to the carrier to begin with and let their system return the proper calculated delivery dates.

Just some thoughts...
