Thoughts?")* Hi, How about making sure that the weight you enter in the products is at least 8lbs ? Otherwise, it would require changing the code of the FedEx plugin in the file plugins/hikashopshipping/fedex/fedex.php and change the code: Code: if(@$data['weight']<1){ $data['weight']=1; } to: Code: if(@$data['weight']<8){ $data['weight']=8; } Note that you would loose that change when you'll update HikaShop, so you'll have to do it again.

Thoughts?")* Hello Kikashop team, Another great job with the latest release of Hikashop. Based on my previous problem with the minimum shipping weight requirement. Is it possible that the new version of hikashop is now sending the minimum total in lbs rather than in kgs? Made the same change to the fedex.php file as I did before using the weight of 3.62 kgs minimum, and it actually returned the shipping fee for a 6lb package (true weight) instead of an 8lb package (minimum weight). Let me know, please.
