Countries that don't use zip or postal codes problem

[ronharter]

I had a problem with an order today from a customer in Botswana, they don't have zip or postal codes but in the shopping cart it is a required field. This is good for the most part but for those countries they need to enter a 0 or none for it to go through. UPS does calculate shipping costs correctly without the postal code for those countries. I could just put a note on it but am afraid that some customers in required countries might use this and then have even more of a problem. It has only occurred once in over a year so it is not a big problem. If MAS would like to update it sometime here is the list according to UPS of countries that don't have zip or postal codes.
