Hmm... one thought I've had is to allow customers to specify a default address from previous orders. (If they only have 1 order on record, that would be the address used.) Then you wouldn't have to worry about storing addresses in the profile... just load up the default address for that customer. I'll post up the details if I get to it.

Ryan,

Is also a possibily, but my needs are a bit different, this is a site only accessible to registered users and users can not sign up them self, they have to sign a contract first. The admin then creates a new user with all his details and after they login they can order stuff.

I guess we need some kind of flexible system so site admins can choose which method they want to use:
- use profile information
- use the last used address as you suggest

Ryan,
The profile address should really be the contract address for the user - not the default shipping address or billing address.

For example, our customers are all businesses. Their contact information might be an office, there shipping address is a warehousse, and their billing address for their credit card might be there house or a coporate office.

While this might make things a little more complex, it would be best to have them fill out a profile. Then have a check box if this is also their shipping address and another checkbox for billing address. If they check the boxes fill the form out for them. If they don't check the boxes, let them fill the form our manually.

Then store the profile information in the user profile, create a new table for default billing and ship to addresses. You could even keep multiple shipping/billing addresses on file and let them pick from a drop down.

This would give all of us the most flexibility.

Have you looked at http://drupal.org/project/uc_addresses? These threads are all quite old/stale...

Ryan,
I just downloaded and yes - this completely solves the problem. Thanks,
