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. regards Erik
