I agree. I think this would be a great idea as well. There should be an easier way to have shipping rates for different items to different countries than selecting each one individually. I have a client who has a variety of items (DVD’s, Books, Magazines, etc) all with different rates to different parts of the world. The need to specify all the different countries from the list each time for each item is enough to drive a person to drink. You can’t even cut and paste. There should be regional shipping options. I would love to know if anyone is aware of such an option or plugin.

With it, you can set the countries that you want to sell on.
The Table Rates Shipping plugin does just that and
lets you configure how you wish to define zones and what
countries are included in it.

Yes, but you still have to manually enter each country per zone, instead of just drawing from a pre defined zone. So for example, if I want to set one rule for all of Asia and another for all of Europe, I still have to go one by one and select each country. It’s nice for a geography lesson but a real time sink otherwise. The table rate shipping plugin can let you decide specific zones and it’s good for granular control over what groups of countries to establish rules, but not for just selecting one entire continent or geographic region.
Why not quote accurate calculated rates from any country without having to worry about defining either zones, rules or rates? Our module offers accurate calculated international rates from UPS, Fedex, USPS and DHL.

What you’d like is something with pre-created zones or regions
from which can just be selected. Most plugins allow you to create your
own so I haven’t seen one with pre-created zones or regions.
Flat Rate per State/Country/Region for Woocommerce allows something
similar with pre-created zones but it’s used for flat rates.
