Using the API docs for Rate Request (<https://developers.easyship.com/reference/rates_request>), I've noticed that if I add more than one parcel to the payload the response only returns one courier (UPS). If I have only one parcel, then I get many couriers returned in the response (CanPar, UPS, Canada Post, Purolator… etc). I'm wondering if this is a bug, because I'm pretty sure some of these couriers offer multi-parcel shipments, so why doesn't this work for rates. Any ideas? Suggestions? I'm using my production key for this, as the sandbox key isn't very reliable for returning consistent results. Thanks for the help. :)

The API reference states: The Rates API allows you to request a list of shipping quotes for a prospective Shipment. The response will also indicate which Courier is the cheapest, fastest and best value for money, which is a combination of speed, price and reliability. However I am only getting one rate back, which has: "cost_rank": 1.0, "courier_id": "d70f503c-905b-4e28-a015-d27069a09e0c", "courier_name": "Evri - Parcelshop", "courier_remarks": "Pickup option available in checkout", "currency": "GBP", "ddp_handling_fee": 0.0, "delivery_time_rank": 1.0, Why are other ranked rate options not being returned?

https://developers.easyship.com/reference/shipments_create clearly shows that the phone contact is not required for destination address but when creating a shipment in sandbox is can't be null or blank. I do not want to collect phone numbers of my customers just to ship to them. Why is it not consistent?

Hello, we are unable to generate label and we are receiving "undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass" error. We also noticed that the country in the response for the origin address is United States although it is sent in the request as GB (United Kingdom). Can someone please help us generate a label?

Please explain why this parcel array is not being accepted by your compiler in the request rates api call: "parcels":[{"box":{"slug":"Custom Box","length":17,"width":9,"height":4},"total_actual_weight":2}] thanks

I am considering using easyship, for an application i would like developing. Are there any developrs here with expereince of intergrating the easyship API

Hi I've created a shipment using the sandbox token but cannot see it from the Easyship dashboard.

Hi, just wondering if we can use your service to deliver multiple flower bouquets or boxes in one run usually between 5 to 10 bouquets from one pick up location.

Hi, when I request rates over the API, I am unable to get the same options that I can over the Easyship dashboard (either the "Get a quote" tool or the "Create shipments" tool). For example, if I set up a shipping rule to only use UPS Next Day Air, I can see the option just fine on the dashboard, but the API doesn't return any rates. However, this only happens with most UPS options. UPS Ground as well as all of the USPS options work normally over both the dashboard as well as the API. I have the API request set to use the shipping rules. Is there a limitation or options somewhere to change that would fix this?
