Radius Calculated Shipping/Delivery at checkout

OC 2.0.3.1
VQ 2.5

I have a OpenCart website and we ship worldwide using FEDEX DHL UPS USPS etc. We also offer delivery within a 2 hour radius of the store. I would like to allow local customers to place their orders online, and select a shipping option "Local Same Day Delivery $Variable. I would like the variable to adjust in price depending on their shipping address.

If there is nothing like that, than here are some alternatives i can think of:

At Checkout under the shipping method section have something that asks for their postal code to calculates the Same Day Delivery Fee. or better have "Same Day Delivery Fee" only appear when the customers shipping address is within our local delivery restrictions

Using the xShipping Extension, I can make all the custom shipping methods i want (Look Below for example of my shipping options). Is it possible for opencart to check the shipping address city, and only show the option "Local Same Day Delivery - Surrey" if their address is in surrey, or if customer is from langley it will only show "Local Same Day Delivery - Langley".

thanks for any help on this!

Currently im using the extension called "xShipping" which is great, but my shipping options are flooding the page.

Example:
Pickup From Store
Flat Rate Shipping - Canada
Flat Rate Shipping - Canada (With Tracking)
Flat Rate Shipping - USA
Local Same Day Delivery - Surrey
Local Same Day Delivery - Delta
Local Same Day Delivery - White Rock
Local Same Day Delivery - Vancouver
Local same Day Delivery - Langley
Local Same Day Delivery - Abbotsford
etc
Flat Rate Shipping - USA (With Tracking)

I have a Distance-Based Shipping extension that can create flat rates on the straightline distance from an origin point (by default, the store address). If you need other criteria like total or weight, you can also take a look at these more powerful extensions:

• Formula-Based Shipping
• Category & Product-Based Shipping
• Ultimate Shipping

Feel free to take a look at the screenshots and demo site, and if you're interested let me know at www.getclearthinking.com/contact if you have any further questions.

Great thanks for the information. It took me a bit to figure out all the options and variables, but i think i understand mostly what it does. I love the small annotations that come up for each option so beginners have a better understanding before making a change. All Extensions should come with that!

I dont understand what to edit in admin panel under Distance-Based Shipping section to choose what shipping options are available for 10-20 miles

everything looks great, and i love the that Distance-Based Shipping has the ability to also add custom shipping options with different titles separating each shipping group.

Thanks for the reply!

If you're using Distance-Based Shipping, you'd just enter the appropriate bracket in the Charges box:

10-20 = 15.00

If you're using one of the more powerful extensions, and want to restrict a charge by that distance, you'd add a rule like this:

Rule: Distance = 10-20

Those charges will only be available if the customer's location is 10-20 miles from origin (the store address by default). If you want to change the origin, you can use a "Setting Override" rule like this:

Rule: Setting Override: config_address = (new address)
