Resolution

If this message says "a refill is in progress", this means that a postage refill is currently taking place. Refills are normally completed within 60-90 seconds. After closing the error message, you should be able to successfully process a shipment.

If the message states that the account “does not have sufficient balance” and does not say “a refill is in progress”, this means that there is an issue with your funding account associated with this carrier. Check your Pitney Bowes Purchase Power or Reserve Account to ensure that adequate funds are available.
