Wholesale customer wants to use own accounts for shipping

I have a wholesale site, and some of the bigger customer's want to use their own FedEx and UPS account numbers on orders. It seems many stores preferred to get charged this way (instead of me adding the S/H to their total).

Is there a mod or option that let's customer's input their own account number for FedEx or UPS? Thanks in advance! -B

Hi Bryan,

I'm not aware of any modification that does this out of the box. How do you deal with shipping fulfillment ?

On one hand it wouldn't be that much work for me to program a custom shipping method that allowed for 'On Account' wit the capability for your / or the customer to enable. If you have skype jump on and add me ... SkypeID: hunter.bm

I would like to thrown in my input, since this is now my new most requested function to add to our carts.

I would like to make available to all customers the ability to enter their own shipper number (without me having to pre-select that customer for that function).

Aside from collecting information on the customer's account number, the system would also need to offer the various shipping options that we allow - for example : Next Day Air, 2nd Day, Ground, etc.

Also the ability to have multiple shipper available - configurable on our end what we want shown.

I am in the market NOW for this module if anyone has anything they know of.

Thanks!

BryanWiz,

I personally would modify and activate the 'FREE SHIPPING" module (because they are paying for their own shipping), simply changing the title "FREE SHIPPING" to "USE MY OWN FEDEX/UPS ACCOUNT#" and have them enter their FedEx or UPS account number in the comments box.

Best regards,
Merry

For those interested I have completed the extension, it can be had here:
