Delivery Time API

[me1]

The ShipStation API has a "Get Rates" endpoint that allows a consumer to retrieve rates for carrier shipping services, much like the Rate Calculator in the web interface (except the API requires you to specify the carrier). In the response, the call returns the following fields: - serviceName (FedEx First Overnight) - serviceCode (fedex_first_overnight) - shipmentCost (87.8) - otherCost (2.63) In the web interface, it also returns Package (which I'm not too concerned about) and Delivery Time ("7 days," "3 days," etc). It would help me tremendously to have the API report the Delivery Time for each rate quote, which is already presented in the web. I am implementing a Delivery Time Estimate in my online store based on this information and my order handling time, and without this information, I may have to implement API calls to the shipping service and avoid using ShipStation's API.

We do need this feature. Please add it ASAP. You can lose some customers without it. You are not alone in the marketplace of services like yours.

Would LOVE this feature! How is it not a thing when shipstation clearly already has the data!?

WE NEED DELIVERY STATUS ON THE SHIPMENTS OBJECT IN YOUR API.

This is already available on ShipStation's sister (or at least related) product, ShipEngine API

Its been a while since this thread opened. We saw that the estimated Delivery Time will be displayed on the frontend. Is there any plan to implement this field in the API?

Hello @HTMShipper!

Thank you for your post! We’ve got great news: We're dedicating a lot of time and effort to enhancing the ShipStation API, and this feature request is on track to launch by the end of 2024, if not sooner.

We truly appreciate you sharing your ideas—they help us make things even better for our merchants. 

Happy Shipping!
