    Default flat rate for specific country

    I can`t figure out howto set up Zen Cart so it would offer flat rate shipping only for users from 1 country. I`ve tried setting up zones but this part of Zen Cart is complete mystery for me. I don`t get it. Could anyone help me out?
    So far I was able to set table rate for all users but as local shipping is way cheaper I`d like to offer flat rate for local customers.

    Check the Zone Details and see if you left out the definition of the zone ...

    @Ajeh: the problem is I don`t get the whole "Zones" thing. I`ve tried to set it up without success. I`ve noticed that the zone apears in the "shipping zone" field of the flat rate setup when I create something under Location/Taxes -> Zones Definitions . But what are Location/Taxes -> Zones for?
    Also I do something incorrectly under Zone Definitions. When I select the zone definition I`ve created in flat rate setup I cannot activate this module.
    Sorry for troubling you with these noob issues but I simply cannot figure it out. Step by step guide would be GRAETLY appreciated.
    I`d like to set up flat rate for all customers from Poland.

    Zone Name:
    Description:

    Click INSERT

    Set up:

    If you get the yellow dot on the Flat after setting the Zone, this is because you set a Zone and it is telling you that there is a limit on the shipping module so you don't forget ...

    Tax rate has nothing to do with setting up a Zone for a Shipping Module ... the Zones just happen to be in one area so if you want to set up a Zone for Shipping or Payment or Taxes you would see them in the same place ...

    Oh, and on Sort Order ... if you use 1 sort order, use it on all of them ... I usually number in increments of 10 ... 10, 20, 30 etc.
