Server Error. Try again soon.

[airb330]

Signed up for instant ink last night. All seemed well; got the signup email and everything. Today the account keeps saying it needs a shipping address (which was provided last night):

Shipping address needed to verify payment method

Thank you for adding a payment method to your account. We still need your shipping address to verify the added payment method and to know where to send your next shipment of cartridges when you run low.

When I retype the address, then it just says Server Error Try Again Soon. Hopefully it just resolves on its own in a few days? Otherwise I won't get my ink!

I have the same problem. I signed up couple of days ago and had entered my address then. The website said I was all set, apparently not.

@airb330, @hazdazzler009 Welcome to the HP Support Community!

Restart the wireless router, the printer, and the PC

There could be issues with the Instant Ink servers, kindly try again after couple of hours.

For more info on how to update the shipping address, refer to this document. 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

Thank you but, the error remains.

Also, as stated before, I DID enter my shipping address two days ago. The HP server clearly deleted it and now I cannot update it. Someone at HP tomorrow during business house needs to actually take a look at the account. I can't even click on anything because it just prompts for a shipping address over and over again. Here's what my account looks like:

Also, another caveat here is now my printer is saying "thank you for installing HP Instant Ink cartridges." I am still using my starter cartridge, because clearly HP cannot even ship  me a cartridge due to their server issues. So, why did the free trial start and why does my printer think I've installed the Instant Ink ones when I have not.

This whole process has not went smoothly at all. Issue after issue...

I am having the same problems with server connection. I have been trying for 3 days, after already entering my address the first day and it being deleted. This needs to be fixed ASAP. 

[J801]

I had the same issue for several weeks. I've called several times and they always give the exact same line. "We're working on it. Try again in 3 hours." I'm so done with them.

@J801

Did it also "start" your trial right at day 1? I cannot get through to anyone helpful. it is always "sorry wrong department!"

I am about to return the printer TBH. This is ridiculous.

I am having the same issue.

Kumar's solution did not work.  This whole thing is ridiculous. I have waited more than a couple hours and it's been over 6 hours and still not working.
