Shipwire ecommerce order fulfillment and ubercart
Hello,
This is Nate with Shipwire. I saw this post. I have not heard of a drupal or ubercart module for Shipwire ecommerce order fulfillment. I'm hoping that a developer is interested in making a Shipwire - Ubercart module.
Shipwire provides pick pack, logistics, transportation and ecommerce order fulfillment services from warehouses in the U.S., Canada and UK (Los Angeles, Chicago, Reno, Vancouver, Toronto and East Sussex, U.K.)
If a developer is interested we offer a fully tested production API at http://www.shipwire.com/help/c/how-it-works/developer-tools/
We offer a partner program with commissioning for developers that work with us. http://www.shipwire.com/partner
I am very interested in working with developers familiar with ubercart and Drupal so please don't hesitate to reach out to me directly or through the forum.

Re: Shipwire ecommerce order fulfillment and ubercart
I'll get in touch. I would love for us to integrate Ubercart w/ Shipwire and use the affiliate commission to support further Ubercart development. I've signed up for an affiliate account and will look over your API. If it makes sense, I'll see if one of my devs can get on it in the near future.
Now available
Check it out, developed for our friends at Lullabot for their recent Ubercart implementation:

Shipwire Missing Orders?
We successfully implemented this Shipwire mod for Ubercart back in November 2009, and it worked great for the most part. It returns a nice set of real time shipping quotes and then pushes the order request to the Shipwire account. One thing to note that I learned is the sku number of the product in Ubercart MUST match the skus in the Shipwire catalog options.
We recently started having problems with a few intermittent "dropped orders" in Shipwire - meaning the order went through successfully in Ubercart and payment gateway, and receipt was recorded in Drupal - but it never showed up in Shipwire and therefore was never shipped out to the customer. Someone mentioned that it could be Shipwire's server was intermittently having some lag or downtime or error in communication, so the order did not get properly received when it was "pushed" by Ubercart at the end. I guess there is not any indicator in the module right now to check for that. Anyone else have this issue and suggest a fix for it?
