Ensure that a product that you purchase is ship enabled. Try weights 5 and 10. P.S. Zip from should be set to 10022 ;

I'm having the exact same problem with my USPS test account. Is there any reason to fool around with a test account?

Here is one set of test data that will get you by the error message. <RateV2Request USERID="xxxxxx"> <Package ID="0"> <Service>All</Service> <ZipOrigination>10022</ZipOrigination> <ZipDestination>20008</ZipDestination> <Pounds>10</Pounds> <Ounces>5</Ounces> <Size>LARGE</Size> <Machinable>TRUE</Machinable> </Package> </RateV2Request> Here is the web site URL http://forum.systemsmanager.net/lofiversion/index.php/t981.html for a better examples. I just set <ZipOrigination>10022</ZipOrigination> <ZipDestination>20008</ZipDestination> <Pounds>10</Pounds> <Ounces>5</Ounces> <Size>LARGE</Size> <Machinable>TRUE</Machinable> and was able to get a response from the USPS server . Thanks, Bob H

I just upgraded to a production account and everything works. Don't bother with the test account.

USPS Error returned: Error Desc: Please enter a valid ZIP Code for the sender. USPS Help Context: 1000440. Any ideas on why this is a problem? I setup a UPS account also and that works... Everything seems right in configuration. I tried both ZIP code versions: 34232 and 34232-2486

If you are using the USPS test server you have to use 10022 as the origin zip code.

Try this known good data <ZipOrigination>10022</ZipOrigination> <ZipDestination>20008</ZipDestination> <Pounds>10</Pounds> <Ounces>5</Ounces> <Size>LARGE</Size> <Machinable>TRUE</Machinable> If this does not work send a email to the USPS technical section. They have to switch something on the server before you go live.
