Sub-districts for shipping?

[bluemax]

How to use sub-districts be used for calculating shipping?

I would like to use sub-districts to allow for shipping calculations, but cant figure out how.

For instance how would I be able to…

- Offer free shipping to a limited local area within a city (North and West Vancouver).
- Charge a flat rate for the rest of the city ($9.50 for Greater Vancouver) up to a certain weight restriction.
- Charge shipping based on weight to the rest of the Province (areas other then Vancouver).
-
I have tried to create sub-districts but can’t seem to select them from within the shipping options (shipping bands selector).

Separating areas by province is easy, but how do I create sub-provinces? BC itself is bigger then half of Europe and I can’t just charge a flat rate.

Any help would be great.

The sub-districts feature only works for tax calculations, not shipping (it was designed for those crazy Californian county taxes).

The only thing I can recommend is create new states for 'Vancouver (Central), BC', 'Vancouver (Outer), BC' etc. and then use these for your state based calculations.
