UPS to Japan postal code bug

UPS throws a postal code error when trying to purchased a label to Japan, asking for a 0 to 5 character postal code.  Japan has a 7 digit postal code.  The address was verified by ShipStation and Melissa Lookups.  ShipStation support said there is a complicated work around that requires senior support (they are making the label for me currently).  It was suggested that I post the problem here in hopes to have it solved in a feature update.  Seems like a pretty big problem - you can't buy UPS labels to Japan !?!?

Hello @SandwichTech, 

 

Thanks for being a part of our community and for reaching out.  You should be able to resolve this by changing the state code instead of the zip code. Hopefully this helps you out.
