Etsy "Invalid Shipping Data" Error

Error & Description:

“path”:“/item/weight”,“type”:“shipping_profile_no_domestic_option”,“message”:“Invalid Shipping: This means your product weighs too much and cannot be handled by your current shipping carrier.

“path”:“/item/length”,“type”:“shipping_profile_no_international_option”,“message”:“Invalid Shipping Data: This means your product is too big for your current Etsy shipping carrier to handle.

Reason:

The shipping carrier you currently use for Etsy does not accommodate the weight or dimensions ( length, height & width ) of the products you are attempting to upload from Shopify to Etsy.

Solution:

• The length should be the largest dimension.
• Choose a shipping option that is suitable for your item’s weight or dimensions ( length, height & width )

Let's take the example of USPS shipping services:

For Domestic Service:

• USPS Standard/First Class Mail: The maximum weight is 4 lbs (64 oz)
• USPS Priority Mail: The maximum weight is 70 lbs.
• USPS Priority Mail Express: The maximum weight is 70 lbs.

For International Service:

• Standard International: The maximum weight is 4 lbs (64 oz)
• USPS Priority Mail Express International: The maximum weight is 70 lbs.
• USPS Priority Mail International: The maximum weight is 70 lbs.
