I am receiving this message whenever I try to print postage for a number of books.  I already printed up half a dozen books this morning and have another half dozen to go.  I added additional money to my account several hours ago.

We are sorry but electronic postage is currently not available for this address.

sometimes the problem is with the post office. They might be having a problem.

I am getting the message "electronic postage cannot be used for this address".  What does this mean?

  • This message "electronic postage is currently not available for this address" is an error message from endicia.com, our online postage provider, and often it just goes away if the sender tries again to print after a few minutes.  
  • If the address is not validated by USPS,  you will also see the above message.  In the case of an invalid address, the requestor can go to this site  to try to find the "validated" form of his or her address.  Printed postage can't be used to send a package to an address that has not been validated by USPS.
