Be careful when creating Zone Definitions such as Zone Definitions for the United States.
Country: United States
Zone: All Zones
is the United States with All Zones that includes all 50 States, DC, US Islands and Territories such as Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands and the Armed Forces.
If you need to distinguish your definition of the United States, then you need to specifically add the setting for the
Country: United States
Zone: (specific Zone here)
Be careful to note the geo_zone_id in each of the INSERTs below. They are unique from one another so that they do not conflict with each other. You also need to ensure that they are unique on your site, meaning, that you have not already used the geo_zone_id for another Zone Definition. You can check this by going to your Zen Cart Admin and checking the Localization ... Zone Definitions ... If you click on the Zone Definition, you will see in the URL the zID=XX which will indicate the geo_zone_id that is being used.
