didn't mean to step on any toes there; i'm using 1.3.8

i ended up just uploading the zone_id's and country_id'ss and the array_merge error is gone.

because i'd rather avoid any possible complications (which you seem to imply, dr. byte), i'll fix the customer_info_id. that id is suppose to match the customer_id, correct? it's a 1-to-1 relationship?

thx for all your help so far!
