| Formely I copy/pasted adresses, but for some years now I have to fill in an online
formular to ship abroad.
But addresses are unclear in some cases, especiallaly from South Korean and Chinese
customers.
So I often have to ask what-is-what, sometime building names, room numbers, steet
names and numbers come in one line - too long anyway to put in the formular and
in many cases impossible to untie.
This often gives a lot of extra communication and delays. The english language
or let me say my english language- is not allways understood.
It will also cause improper addressings.
So what I suggest is making a fixed format for addresses according to the standards
postal administrations use for their online fomulars.
So a line for street, a field for streetnumber, a line for building name, city,
provibce/region etc.
This would make it much easier to ship, avoid a lot of communication and delays.

Erik

Very good suggestion, this would make it much easier to put the address correctly
in electronic forms.
ISO 19160 would be a good start.
Maybe an addition to this. I notice a lot that the BrickLink address and the
Paypal address do not match. By the rules of Paypal`s seller protection, you
have to ship to the exact Paypal address. But in a lot of cases it is an old
address from the buyer. If the buyer pays offside there is nothing BrickLink
can do, but if payed onsite, BrickLink can make life much easier to let the buyer
correct the shipping address before finalizing the payment.
