I use Neotrace, which will locate the country of origin of the IP. You can buy Neotrace at http://www.neotrace.com

Hi!
You could try network-tools.com.
Give the IP and all the info relating to the IP is given to you.
Have a great day :)

The cool people do it from the command line :D.

I have a shell script I wrote a couple of years back that queries the ARIN whois server. If it is not an Americas address it will direct you to the right Internet Numbers Registrar:


#!/bin/sh


if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then
echo "Usage: awhois ip.ad.dr.ess"
exit 1
fi

/usr/ucb/whois -h whois.arin.net $1

The cool people must like settling for the country of origin for the netblock owner, instead of more precision. :)

Well, the question was:

how do you find what country a customer is ordering from from their ip address?

What I was trying to say is that the netblock owner's country of origin doesn't necessarily mean that's the country where the IP address is located "physically". :)
