This recipe outlines how to clone the Flat Rate shipping module for use in several zones and with different rates. While the Zone Rates shipping module seems to be a valid alternative for such a scenario, allowing you to set up shipping tables for several different zones, this new set of modules gives you the option to change the business logic for each zone separately. In a separate recipe, you will learn a method to offer free shipping for a catalog, but not for other products; if free shipping is to be valid for one zone only, it would require hard-coding the zone-based shipping module resulting in less freedom for modifications.
