I am getting the same. Cannot get through to Help Desk.

Same problem on our end. Tried UPS and USPS with the same error. Not sure we have tried to ship anything over the weekend, but we just noticed 5 minutes ago. (Monday Morning)

I have this same issue today out of no where. It usually fixes itself quickly but it has now been about an hour. I also can’t get on a chat as that function is not working on Shopify either.

I am having the same issue this morning. Unable to get through to Help Desk.

Same issue for me. Possibly a Shopify outage this morning?

I’m getting the same in Canada with Canada Post

Same issue as well. When I googled the error message it seems it happened back june of 2020 also.. wonder how long till this is resolved? I have TWELVE orders to get out today :disappointed_face:

Same problem here. “An unexpected error” is the message I’m getting.

I keep getting “Shipping labels are temporarily unavailable” when I try to purchase USPS labels
