Troubleshooting Shipping Label Error- PostNord Postal Code Rejection

Fixes for PostNord rejecting a valid postal code (e.g., "PostalCode error: INVALID.") when generating a return label.

You might experience this error message below when label generation has failed:

Error Message: "PostalCode error: INVALID."

Cause:

PostNord's API can occasionally reject a valid postal code (e.g., 503 44), when it is newly assigned or not yet updated in their system.

Note: This error can occur even when the post code is correct on Google Maps.

Fixes:

  1. Look up the address on PostNord's Postal Code Search to find their code.

  2. Update the customer's postal code to match — or use a nearby code for that street (e.g., 503 44 → 503 38).

  3. The street address and city are what matter most. As long as those are correct, PostNord's drivers will still collect the return.
