PayPal Address_Override not working

Question

I'm testing a PayPal integration on the sandbox using cmd=_express-checkout (https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_express-checkout&useraction=commit&=token=..)

The store I'm working on calcs shipping costs from delivery address before initialising the PayPal transaction, so we need to display the shipping address as entered on our client's site and not the default address held by PayPal for the buyer.

I've tried sending address_override=1 along with the address parameters specified here (https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/paypal-payments-standard/integration-guide/Appx_websitestandard_htmlvariables/) but the [Ship To] displayed is still that of the test account default address.

address_override=1
useraction=commit
token=XXXX
address1=XXXX
city=XXXX
state=CA
country=US
zip=XXXXX
first_name=XXX
last_name=XXX

Am I missing something obvious or should I be doing it differently?

Thanks.

Looks like you have set NOSHIPPING=0. Please change your request and set NOSHIPPING=2

NOSHIPPING
Determines whether PayPal displays shipping address fields on the PayPal pages. For digital goods, this field is required, and you must set it to 1. Value is:

0 — PayPal displays the shipping address on the PayPal pages.
1 — PayPal does not display shipping address fields and removes shipping information from the transaction.
2 — If you do not pass the shipping address, PayPal obtains it from the buyer's account profile.

Another one thing is for Express checkout integration you need to refer the documentation in here: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/api/merchant/SetExpressCheckout_API_Operation_NVP/

The link that you have provided earlier is for paypal payment standard integration.
