In general, this happens when the town name you're using (or the state abbreviation) doesn't match the recorded zip code; I build systems for clients that do a standard lookup, and occasionally the name they're using (or the spelling they're using) is different from what the post office thinks things should be.

If you visit this page:

https://tools.usps.com/go/ZipLookupAction!input.action

and you put in your street address, city, and state (leave the zip field blank), does the formatted address look EXACTLY like what you're typing into the shirt address field?

Well for some reason "Court" is abbreviated and "Mount" isn't, plus it added those extra four digits to the zip code, and it's in all caps, otherwise it's the same... I have to match the abbreviations, don't I?

I typed out "Mount" (part of the town name) and it went through, thanks. :)
