Hi,

We use the table rate system to calculate shipping cost based on weight.

We're based in the UK and would like to adjust the shipping cost depending upon a customer's location. We basically need one set of rates for shipping to mainland UK and another set for shipping to Scottish highlands and offshore islands.

I haven't quite got my head around zones but would it be possible to set up certain UK counties to fall into one zone and other counties to fall into another zone (i.e. mainland UK counties as one zone and Scottish highlands and offshore islands as another zone). Could I then apply a set of shipping rates to each zone?

I should add, the customer selects their country of residence and county from a drop down menu during registration. So can I use the data from these drop down menus to form the zone definitions?

If not, is there another way I could solve this problem?

If anyone could point me in the right direction it'd be much appreciated, thanks!
