Online store requires zip code

[Fitz]

Trying to buy anything via the Online Store requires the entry of a valid zip code, even if the "In US" checkbox is unchecked.

Why?

Believe it or not, there are actually quite large areas of the world outside the USA who don't use the US Postal Service's coding systems.

This is something which turns up time and time again when trying to buy anything over the internet from America - not just at the Hero store, but anywhere based in the USA.

Just put NA in the ZIP field.

Doesn't work -- I still get dumped back with a message saying "You must enter a valid zip code", or words to that effect

Wait -- I tell a lie. Sort of. It accepted it when I entered "na", but not when I entered "n/a". I guess it sees the slash as an illegal character or something.
