VALIDATION_ERROR : packagedetails : Weight must be less than or equal to X lbs [Solution]

When processing orders you might come across the "VALIDATION_ERROR:packagedetails:Weight must be less than or equal to X lbs" error.

This error is shown when the packages' weight within the order is too heavy for the service you have chosen to process it through.

You can solve this in several ways:

• Change the order's contents as detailed below.

2. Click the edit button of the order you wish to change

3. Select the Packaging tab

4. Correct the contents of your order to comply with the weight restriction (deleting or editing contents)

5. Press Save to apply the changes
 

Once done, if all the order information is correct, you’ll be able to Process or Process & Print it.
