Hi folks....all of a sudden we are getting the error below when trying to check out. I did a search and read the posts but it looks like everything is setup correctly (it was working fine and then all of a sudden started throwing up the error).

 

 

 

 

 

An error occured with the USPS shipping calculations.

If you prefer to use USPS as your shipping method, please contact the store owner.

 

is the usps production server down? is anyone else having trouble at the moment?

 

thanks,
