Label error — SEKO — Invalid suburb, city, and postcode combination

Fix SEKO label errors caused by invalid Australian or New Zealand suburb, city, and postcode combinations.

Written by Rez

Error message

“SEKO API returned errors: Origin: The attempted Suburb/City/Postcode combination does not exist in the database. Please update the combination and try again.”

What this error means

SEKO could not validate the address because the suburb, city, and postcode combination does not match the carrier database.

This is most commonly seen for Australian and New Zealand addresses.

How to fix it

  1. Check the customer’s address.

  2. Confirm whether the suburb, city, or postcode is incorrect.

  3. For Australian addresses, verify the postcode using the Australia Post postcode lookup.

  4. If the city contains “Saint”, try changing it to “St”.

    • Example: “Saint Kilda” → “St Kilda”

  5. Update the address in the RMA.

  6. Regenerate the label.
