Code changes needed so one country can be in multiple zones?

[30knees]

What code changes or module would be needed so one country can be in multiple zones? Is this a major undertaking, how many hours would it likely take? Is anybody else interested in this feature?

For example:

• DHL charges 10 Euros for Germany and France.
• UPS charges 10 Euros for France and Belgium.
• DHL charges 20 Euro for Belgium.
• UPS charges 20 Euro for Germany.

The customer should be able to see in the checkout for Belgium:

• DHL: 20
• UPS: 10

To do this, I'd like to create zones:

• DHL Zone 1: Germany, France
• UPS Zone 1: France, Belgium
• DHL Zone 2: Belgium
• UPS Zone 2: Germany

And then have carriers accordingly.

Not possible. Each country can be only in one zone. Entire system expects this behaviour.

Group as many countries in 'multi-country' zones, then put those that shift pricing in 'single-country' zones. I name them after the country so it's easier when editing the courier.

When applying the price you can have the same price for one or more zones so the customer will not notice this separation.
