Falls apart when you accept worldwide addresses.
75001 - Am I in Texas or France?
20001 - Am I in Washington or Algeria or Spain?
10115 - Am I in New York or Germany or Dominican Republic?
I guess you could compliment that with IP geolocation and now you suddenly have an address entry form with dependencies up the wazoo and can probably push it on its own repo. Thousands of lines of code, servers processing, ice glaciers melting just so I don’t have to type in that I am from Fucking, Austria.
I’ve literally never prefixed a country code to a postal code and I’ve successfully sent over 300 letters and packages from sales on CardMarket and over 200 packages from sales on Ebay (all to EU). The country was always the last line in the address. I’ve also never done this for my own address, but I’ve seen it done yes. Particularly when an online merchant did it for me. Its a far cry from saying we do this in Europe. Its an exception rather than a rule.
