Help needed with Zones shipping please.

[Impact-Flies]

I have set up zone rate shipping and it all seems to be working correctly, one small snag has just become apparent though after a GB customer was charged the overseas handling charge.

I have used just two zones that are basically GB in zone 1 and rest of the world (00) in zone 2, this zone has a handling charge added to the same rates as zone 1 to cover airmail costs etc and it all worked fine during testing - I changed the address on an overseas test account and the shipping value was calculated correctly.

The problem is that by default it's applying the handling charge to all shipping - in the checkout it's showing as; Zone Rates (Shipping to ) with no country code.
In the section further down there is a radio button that is pre selected that says 'zone rates' and 'shipping to GB' if the customer is from GB - clicking this again removes the handling charge and charges the correct shipping - so the snag is customers are by passing this (clicking it again) as the radio button is pre selected by default.

Is there a way around this?

Check your ISO country code(s) for the UK...

ADMIN>>>LOCATIONS / TAXES>>>COUNTRIES

then ensure the 2-digit code is applied in the shipping module.

The two digit code for the U.K is GB - this is what I am using in zone 1. In zone 2 I am using 00 to include all countries with the appropriate handling charge to cover the cost of airmail etc - thinking about it this will also include GB, could it be clashing with zone1 as GB is appearing in both zones?

Is there a list somewhere of the codes that I could paste into zone2 (after removing GB)

I recall a post some months ago by AJEH (Linda McGrath) where she explained resolving this type of issue.

Perhaps PM her - or ...

...Linda... if you're out there... !

Thanks for the link but that is exactly how I have it now. GB for zone1 and 00 (for everything else) as zone2.
