Default Happens every year -

I order my seeds for my garden from Great Britain, from a great old seed company with a sucky website. Every year when I try to order, I can't get past the page that asks for my Swedish postal code.

They have set up an international order page, but my postal code doesn't work whether I write it 19145 or 191 45 (with an indent).

They obviously need to widen the parameters of their mail form scripting to include a larger array of postal codes and code variations, but, well, it's pointless to wonder why some of the largest companies around have terrible websites.

any tricks I can use to get the order form to work?

Postcodes in the UK take the form AA1(2) BB1(2) So try se191 se45. It might just work. Oh and send them an e-mail to tell them how much they're missing out on international trade and why. That should do the trick.
