 * Hi people,
 * I m in desperate need for help.
 * I get the error “postcode / ZIP is not formatted correctly.” My store is configured
   to sell only to the united states so the issue is with US postcodes.
 * When I deactivated the woocommerce tax plugin, I don’t have an issue anymore.
   However, I want to have this plugin live so it can auto-calculate the taxes for
   me.
 * P.s. I have not put my website in the details here because now it works, due 
   to the tax plugin being off.
 * Here is my sys configuration below:
 *     ```wp-block-code

 * Hey there, [@adig25](https://wordpress.org/support/users/adig25/)! Thanks for
   contacting us. I’m happy to help you.
 * Thank you for opening the thread here. I see on the original thread that you 
   used the jetwoobuilder plugin, correct? I also see other plugins that can affect
   the website in a big way.
 * Can you please run a full conflict test to see if something external is interfering
   with this?
 * To test, you’ll first want to change the theme on your site to Storefront, then
   check to see if the issue is still present. If that resolves the issue, you’ll
   want to get in touch with your theme’s developer and see if they have an update
   or fix for you.
 * If changing the theme doesn’t help, you’ll want to deactivate all plugins except
   for WooCommerce and WooCommerce Shipping & Tax and take a look. Also please make
   sure you are using a default checkout page. If that fixes the problem, re-enable
   the other plugins one by one (gradually), checking after each, to see where the
   issue is coming from.
 * — Be sure you have a good backup in place of your full site and database. You
   can ask your host for backup functionality or you can consider using a service
   like **[Jetpack](https://jetpack.com/)**. If something goes wrong, you will be
   able to restore it.
 * — Also, you can consider using a plugin like **[Health Check & Troubleshooting](https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/)**.
   This is a plugin developed by the WordPress community and it is helpful to disable
   plugins without affecting your current site visitors.
 * — It is important to consider as well a staging functionality in case you would
   not like to touch your production site (you can ask your host if they offer this
   service), or you can use **[WP Staging](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-staging/)**
   for quickly spinning up a new test site.
 * You can find more about this in this **[guide](https://woo.com/document/woocommerce-self-service-guide/#section-4)**.
 * Please let us know about your findings.
 * Have a wonderful day!
