Troubleshooting Tips for DX

Here are some common issues, potential causes, and troubleshooting tips.

Issue

How to troubleshoot or resolve

Error Message: The Secure Flex Next Day is not available in this Account. The available Services: Secure Flex Next Day (Generic).

What it means: This error can show up even when you have Secure Flex Next Day service on your account. Because DX users only have certain confirmation types available in their DX agreement, the label will be blocked if you try to use a confirmation type not in your DX contract.

What to do: Change the confirmation type to another option available and you should be able to create a label.

If you try to ship using Neighbourhood Signature and Mandatory Signature and get an error, check with your DX contact to confirm that these options are enabled on your contract.
