How do you handle remote areas with shipping surcharge in the US? Do you use zip code based zones as well? I have the feeling everybody uses it in some way and we should consider bringing it into core.

I don't know that any of our stores do that.

Could you check? I believe it makes sense bringing

into core as new backend would brake the existing gem and I believe we would all benefit from it. • DHL:

Those are some examples of shipping companies charging more for certain zip codes due to the region being hard to reach or an island.

It could be an upgrade to extend zones to allow to charge customers for shipping in such remote areas for your customers too.
