Hi
How can I configure the shipping according to the distance, I saw extensions, estimated shipping and taxes, but only the provinces come, is it possible to add the districts?
or what other option do you recommend?, I need to charge shipping based on distance.
Regards

Distance-based shipping involves additional cost as google map API is not free.
Alternative options could be postal or city-based shipping although city-based shipping is not a viable solution as it is a free text entered by customers.
Therefore, postal based shipping is the optimal alternative of distance-based shipping unless you have no problem of bearing the additional cost for google map API.
You can check my shipping module that supports all the options mentioned above

Check out some of Johnathan's extensions as a lot of his are to do with Shipping, they're very high quality and if one doesn't do what you need he is very helpful:
