Hey, @asamad90. I’ve started a new topic for your question since Local Delivery issues are different from shipping label issues. So, let’s look into this!

In order to know how to proceed, could you please let me know:

• Is this the first time you’re experiencing the error message when fulfilling an order using Local Delivery? 
• At what point in your workflow is this error message appearing? 
• Have you confirmed your customer is within your delivery zone(s)?

If you can, please also provide a screenshot of the error message you’re receiving and where it is appearing. This will be very helpful in knowing the best way to troubleshoot this. 

Thanks!

Thanks for the screenshot, @asamad90! I think I see what’s going on here. Generally an address verification error notification arises when there is a discrepancy between the formatting of how your address is entered in your Shopify account, and how Google identifies it. 

To provide some context on this issue, Shopify relies on Google's APIs to determine geocodes. This means if Google can geocode an address, then it is verified in Shopify. This also means that if Google cannot, or has not geocoded your address yet, it will not be able to be verified on Shopify's side.

Therefore, as a first step towards troubleshooting the notification on your end, please enter your address into Google. Then, please ensure that it is entered in your Local Delivery location exactly how Google displays it. To edit this address, please go to ‘Settings > Locations’ in your admin.

Let me know if this helps!

Hi again Helen,I've updated the address on both Google and the Shopify Location you've referred, it gave me the same Mssg. as attached, it might take sometime to update from google side, I'll wait for sometime, Is there anything to do at the waiting time? Thanks.

Thanks for the update, @asamad90. Has the address been verified now since you last posted, by any chance?

If not, then it would be best for us to take a closer look at this for you. We’ll need to access your account in order to do so. While we’re not able to provide account-specific support via the Shopify Community at this time, we’d be happy to continue assisting you through live chat, email, or callback. Please visit the Shopify Help Center and log in to your account to create a support request.

Let me know how it goes!

Hi @asamad90,

Have you set the shipping zones under the Shipping and Delivery section?
