| I regularly get orders with improper formated addresses. I suggest that the address
part in the signup form needs an overhaul to something like this.
First Name:
Last Name:
Address:
Town/City:
County:
Country:
Zip/Postal Code:
Which should result in an address formated like this on users profile/submited
order page ..etc.
"First Name" "Last Name"
"Address"
"Zip/Postal Code" "Town/City", "County"
"Country"

Except that varies by Country. In the US it would be "Town/City", "State" "Zip/Postal
Code" for us County is irrelevant.
Ideally the signup form should ask you your country first and then provide the
address fields need for your specific country.

196+ countries, and how many different ways of listing addresses? Sounds like
a nightmare to set-up.

| The problem is different countries have different addressing formats.
For example my address is
"First Name" "Last Name"
"House Name/Number" "Road Name"
"Town/City"
"County"
"Zip/Postal Code"
"Country"
A form on BL will be able to deal with all the various international formats,
what is right for you will be wrong for many others.
I think there two options;
- Continue to manually rearrange the address to match the receiving countries
format.
- BL makes a different form for almost every country.
I am happy the way it is.
