Just use the existing UPS module and do not select a zone for it. This will make it available for all zones including not defined. If you need to make available UPS shipping in the 48 states with a special configuration you may need to duplicate the module and offer two configurations.
I never heard about creating a zone that includes ALL the world. It is an opening for all kinds of trouble and errors. Sorry Ajeh.
I am not sure why a Zone for everything except the 48 states is a problem ...
All that happens is that it does not show the module for the 48 states ...
All other locations are shown the module ...
When someone has an address from the 48 states they see the other module ...
What type of issues are you concerned with here? :unsure:
The issue with setting up a zone for the rest of the world, you will need to type in (or import) the entire world's address book for countries and states. What shopping cart owner would like to take responsibility for such a thing?
What I am suggesting is to setup a shipping module for the 48 states and a shipping module for the rest which should not define or be linked to any zone. So what happens is that both shipping options will show for the 48 states but you make sure that the undesired one shows a pricier option while the rest of the world will show only one shipping option and this one will reflect UPS real time shipping plus any handling fees the owner wants.
