    Default USPS Address Verification

    Is there a way to do Address verification when using USPS? I'm on 1.3.7 ZC and USPS & DHL shipping method. I entered an address with wrong zipcode and state combination. USPS did not complain about the wrong address but DHL did. How do I enable USPS to do this kind of check?

    I **think** you can use these additional USPS services with your
    USPS Web Tools account. Additional permission from USPS is required.

    You'll have to write custom code to use your additional USPS authorization details to log in to USPS and submit the proposed address info, ask for validation, and act on the results.

    USPS addr verification is not built-in to the current Zen Cart module.

    ...and one note - as a consumer it is very frustrating to get errors or have to go back and redo your address because the PO doesn't like it ... just something to think about.
    Please do not PM for support issues: a private solution doesn't benefit the community.

    Be careful with unsolicited advice via email or PM - Make sure the person you are talking to is a reliable source.
