Toweringmedia FedEx Dry Ice Addon
Dry-ice rates on FedEx REST
- Transit Ice Weight Lbs by transit days
- Package Splitting Respects max box weight
- Box and Express Fees Per-package surcharges

- Configurable dry-ice pounds for 1–5 day transit
- Splits packages when weight plus ice exceeds max
- Box cost and optional Express ice surcharge
- Requests ACCOUNT and LIST rates, uses the lowest
- Hides services slower than your max transit days

Does this require the FedEx REST API module?

Does it create FedEx labels or UN1845 declarations?
No. It quotes dry-ice shipping rates at cart and checkout only. It does not call the FedEx Ship API, print labels, or transmit UN1845 hazardous-materials declarations.
Where do I configure the Dry Ice Addon?
Go to Stores → Configuration → Sales → Delivery Methods → FedEx Dry Ice Addon (Toweringmedia). Set dry-ice weights by transit day, max package weight, box cost, express surcharge, max transit days, minimum order weight, allowed methods, and optional debug logging.
