    I have downloaded your UPS plugin. I have installed it correctly. I have added weight and measurements to the products. I have linked the UPS account to our store account. I have click on debug for shipping. I have cleared the cache on our site. I have set up the backend shipping for countries. I have set up payments and linked our account to UPS.

    I go to to “my cart” I get an extremely long HTML code. Then I get an error a 1101 error stating the shipping address is not correct. So, I cleared my cache again. I have reset the Debug option. I refreshed the page. I went even to an inconginto window. I am still getting an extremely long HTML listing with an error.
