Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for the getDropoffType([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

The callback for the setDropoffType([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

This type of dropoff is required in a rate request. A charge applies when you request a pickup (i.e., when DropoffType is set to 1 (dtRequestCourier)). This charge does not apply if you drop off your package at a FedEx shipping location or if you have regular scheduled pickups.

This property does not dispatch a courier.
