      3. Troubleshooting & Errors

       

      TransactionID must be max 15 digits

      In this case the Order ID employed is too long, to solve the issue you can switch to ShippyPro order number from My Profile > Preferences > Order reference printed on the labels:


      Error generating labels: Incorrect delivery Point Relais number or the Point Relais is not opened at the moment

      To be able to use a Point Relais service it is necessary to select the "Send to Point Relais" Carrier Option as well; thus, check if both options are active. If after this operation the message still shows, contact your Mondial Relay sales advisor and check if the Point Relay ID is still active.

      Please also make sure that you include the drop-off point number on the request if you ship via Api.


      If a point you'd like to ship to isn't shown among Point options, it means that Mondial Relay doesn't allow shipments to that specific point for that particular shipment, therefore you don't see it in ShippyPro. A certain point might not appear for various reasons, for example, if it has a "special" category and is only capable of receiving very small packages.

      Problème de formatage du XML

      Check whether the transaction ID (marketplace order number) contains any special characters such as #, / etc. If that's the case, delete them and try again to create the shipment / shipping label.


      Le produit de livraison n'est pas autorisé

      Please check whether the service you're trying to use is enabled in your carrier's contract.

       

      Error generating labels: Incorrect phone number

      The phone number format is incorrect. Try deleting the prefix (e.g. +33) and confirm again the order.

      Why can't I display my Mondial Relay drop off points?


      Please keep in mind that Mondial Relay drop off points are only available for the following countries: France, Belgium, Luxemburg, Spain, Netherland, Austria and Germany.

      Please note that ShippyPro will only display drop off points located no more than 10km from the zip code entered into recipient address.

      The error is related to the responsiveness of the carrier's server, which is currently experiencing a timeout. Please wait a few minutes and then try to generate the shipment again.
