Hi, wanted to check in on this PR. My team is hoping to integrate rate estimate functionality into our custom fulfillment app soon. I appreciate any feedback when you have time and am happy to make changes as needed. Thank you for your time! |

Hello @micaelaw. What are you wanting from the rates estimate endpoint? We generally advise people to use the full /v1/rates/ endpoint with rate_type "quick" if they do not want to create a label from the rate, as it is more fully featured, but can also be run with very limited information. |
| origin/destination postal codes and country codes, and package weight. | ||

| for properties of the global ShipEngineConfig object. | ||
| :returns Dict[str, Any]: A list of rate estimates from the specified carriers. |

this should be a List return type right?

Want me to merge this as is? |
@semarj Thanks for pointing out the quick rates functionality; I was not familiar with it. That looks like a good fit for our needs when we have a full "ship to" address. When we only have the zip code, I'd like to be able to estimate the delivery days various services will take. I wasn't able to do that with quick rates, as it required more address information beyond just the zip code. Yes, it would be great if you could merge this in as-is. Thanks for your help! |
