Refusing sales to a certain postal code

Thanks guys!

I think I will try to forward banned dynamic IPs to a custom page, explaining in more detail our policy on our right to refuse sales and services to locals.

I am the evil competion ...

I notice I cannot get to your site ...

I call my evil twin in Canada ...

She gets into your site ...

Orders all these nice images ...

Emails them all to me ...

I am the evil competion ...

I think I'd go with the privacy condition and then have to sue the guy later ... all you are gonna do is block potential customers ...

A theif is a theif ... they will get you one way or another ... so prepare yourself properly from a legal stand point ...

Very good point Ajeh.

Just thought maybe there would be a way to stop the lawsuit before it starts.
Been involved in one before....such a long and expensive process
Hoping it would be as easy as creating a zone.

Thanks

Just realized. Unfortunitely, it won't change anything if people were blocked by entering specific zip codes or postal codes, since they could simply enter any valid values and would still be able to checkout the orders. Meaning, nothing would actually prevent these users to pass through.

If you wish to restrict specific access, you should do so by .htaccess with IP address prefixes (or by domain name is also possible).

How can that be done?
Mind elaborating?

Also, is there no service which can actually map the zip code with the IP address and then let you you know if the zip entered is right or not? ...just a thought
