Resolution
Here are a few tools you can use to verify a shopper’s ship-to address info and format:
The master carton is closed and cannot accept new child shipments.

Failure - Missing or Invalid Mail Innovations Package ID
Explanation
This error typically appears when you try to print a label for UPS WWE but some information is missing. There are two reasons this error may appear:
Dimensions of the master carton box are missing.
A domestic service is not enabled. WWE requires a domestic service to be enabled since it first ships to a domestic export site before being shipped to the destination.
Resolution
Make sure you are putting in the dimensions of the master carton box.
Failure - ShipFrom Address for Master Carton ID is invalid
Explanation
The ship-from address on the master carton is not correct.
Resolution
Make sure that the ship-from address on the child shipments is the same as the ship-from in the master carton. No address variations are allowed; they must be exactly the same.
Failure - Shipper is not authorized for Mail Innovations
Explanation
This is an error from UPS that this account is not authorized for WWE/MI. This may mean the export site is not linked to the UPS account.

Resolution
To resolve, add a warehouse (Dashboard → Settings → Shipping Rates → Create warehouse) with an address that conforms to the USPS requirements.
