address verification needed

[awoman]

Is there anything we can use in the cart that will verify addresses? To make sure we have correct shipping addresses?

The telephone?

Well that would sound like a quick answer but it is impossible to call 50-100 people a day to make sure they gave the correct address.

Where are you located?
If you are in the UK, there are a few services that you could use to check the address based on their post code (zip code)
I have it in my store, they enter their postcode, et voila a list of address options appear and they click their address, it put this into your cart nicely formatted.

This also has advantages that you dont get people writing their address as

Some street
A CITy
some KOunTy

But granted it doesnt check if its right, I wouldnt worry too much about validating it personally.
<edited to say> I just read it again, and id bet you are in the States, in which case this isnt really an option as most people that side of the pond dont know their full zip code.

Even telephone verification sounds good. Does somebody know how it is done? It is very important feature.

telesign seems reasonable but is a pain to get working, i'm having real troubles at the moment with it.....: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=151667

could really do with some suggestions. the zen cart module they have made is very terribly made. My coder has spent ages trying to get to the bottom of it
