Put a postal code first.

Include a field for the country that is autofilled via Geolocation API or geoip if that's unavailable.

Put country first. Postcode doesn’t make sense without one. Prepopulating one based on location is generally okay, but don’t assume it will always be the same.

Or just don’t try to be too clever.
